This leads me to the logical question about EDM of protons and neutrons. The electron and neutron are mentioned, but nothing for proton EDM. What's up with that?

Also apparently the EDM for the neutron has yet to be detected, despite it being a composite particle. Our sensitivity is about five orders of magnitude away from the predicted value.

Also of note, here's a pEDM experiment with a 50m radius (the eEDM experiment is lab scale).
