title: Schiff moment of the mercury nucleus and the proton dipole moment.
abstract: We calculated the contribution of internal nucleon electric dipole moments to the Schiff moment of (199) Hg. The contribution of the proton electric dipole moment was obtained via core polarization effects that were treated in the framework of random phase approximation with effective residual forces. We derived a new upper bound |d(p)|<5.4 x 10(-24)e cm of the proton electric dipole moment.
