The electric dipole moment (EDM) challenge measures a non-zero
proton EDM value and this book suggests how the challenge can be
met. Any measurably large proton EDM would violate the standard
model. The method to be employed uses an intense beam of 'frozen
spin' protons circulating for hour-long times in a storage ring
'trap'. The smallness of EDMs allows them to test existing
theories, but also makes them hard to measure. Such EDM experiments
are inexpensive, at least compared to building accelerators of
ever-greater energy.

in the psychology and techniques of Max Malini (the greatest
impromptu magician of all time), designed for thoughtful magicians,
playful pranksters and curious minded individuals. Each novel
application is presented in easy-to-understand details and
do-it-yourself projects.
