A new experiment is described to detect a permanent electric dipole moment of the proton with sensitivity $10^{-29}e\cdot$cm by using polarized "magic" momentum $0.7$~GeV/c protons in an all-electric storage ring. Systematic errors relevant are discussed and techniques address them presented. The measurement sensitive physics beyond Standard Model at scale 3000~TeV.
A new method to determine the spin tune is described and tested. In an ideal planar magnetic ring, tune-defined as number of precessions per turn-is given by ν(s)=γG (γ Lorentz factor, G gyromagnetic anomaly). At 970 MeV/c, deuteron spins coherently precess at a frequency ≈120 kHz in Cooler Synchrotron COSY. The deduced from up-down asymmetry deuteron-carbon scattering. time interval 2.6 s, was determined with precision order 10^{-8}, 1×10^{-10} for continuous 100 s accelerator cycle. This...

The stable spin direction of polarized particles in a storage ring was determined first experimentally, through an accurate measurement the tune and its response to longitudinal magnetic fields.
We propose a functional framework of fractional Sobolev spaces for class ultra-parabolic Kolmogorov type operators satisfying the weak H\"ormander condition. characterize these as real interpolation natural order intrinic recently introduced in [27], and prove continuous embeddings into $L^p$ intrinsic H\"older from [24]. These naturally extend standard Euclidean ones, coherently with homogeneous structure associated group. Our approach to is based on approximation intrinsically regular...
This paper presents the successful application of a phase-lock feedback system to maintain resonance condition radio frequency (rf) spin rotator (specifically, an rf Wien filter) with respect 120 kHz precession in Cooler Synchrotron (COSY) storage ring. Real-time monitoring and filter signal allows relative phase between two be stabilized at arbitrary setpoint. The compensates for deviations by adjusting and/or as needed. With this method, variation demand standard deviation...
The proposed method exploits charged particles confined as a storage ring beam (proton, deuteron, possibly $^3$He) to search for an intrinsic electric dipole moment (EDM) aligned along the particle spin axis. Statistical sensitivities could approach 10$^{-29}$ e$\cdot$cm. challenge will be reduce systematic errors similar levels. adjusted preserve polarisation, initially parallel velocity, times in excess of 15 minutes. Large radial fields, acting through EDM, rotate polarisation from...

We prove a real interpolation characterization for some non Euclidean Hölder spaces, built on the Lie structure induced by class of ultra-parabolic Kolmogorov-type operators satisfying Hörmander condition. As by-product we also obtain an approximation property intrinsically regular functions whole space.
