Description
With the present proton electric dipole moment (pEDM) storage ring design [1], the counter rotating (CR) beam closed orbits will separate vertically if there is a nonzero radial magnetic field Bx. If a quadrupole electric field Ey is also present, then its direction would be opposite for the CR beams hence it becomes a potential source for a false EDM signal. In this work, we model this non-zero stray radial magnetic field Bx as a field perturbation source and it would cause the closed orbit distortion around the pEDM ring. This EDM-like background is due to the product of the electric quad multipole and the closed orbit distortion. We found the difference of the precession rates for CR beams and quadrupole magnet polarity would be a cure to this systematics.
