The Proton EDM Experiment (pEDM) is the first direct search for the proton electric dipole moment (EDM) with the aim of being the first experiment to probe the Standard Model (SM) prediction of any particle EDM. Phase-I of pEDM will achieve \\(10^{-29} e\\cdot\\)cm, improving current indirect limits by four orders of magnitude. This will establish a new standard of precision in nucleon EDM searches and offer a unique sensitivity to better understand the Strong CP problem. The experiment is ideally positioned to explore physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), with sensitivity to axionic dark matter via the signal of an oscillating proton EDM and across a wide mass range of BSM models from \\(\\mathcal{O}(1\\text{GeV})\\) to \\(\\mathcal{O}(10^3\\text{TeV})\\). Utilizing the frozen-spin technique in a highly symmetric storage ring that leverages existing infrastructure at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), pEDM builds upon the technological foundation and experimental expertise of the highly successful Muon $g$$-$$2$ Experiments. With significant R\\&D and prototyping already underway, pEDM is preparing a conceptual design report (CDR) to offer a cost-effective, high-impact path to discovering new sources of CP violation and advancing our understanding of fundamental physics. It will play a vital role in complementing the physics goals of the next-generation collider while simultaneously contributing to sustaining particle physics research and training early-career researchers during gaps between major collider operations.

We describe a proposal to search for an intrinsic electric dipole moment (EDM) of the proton with a sensitivity of \\targetsens, based on the vertical rotation of the polarization of a stored proton beam. The New Physics reach is of order \\(10^~3\\)TeV mass scale. Observation of the proton EDM provides the best probe of CP-violation in the Higgs sector, at a level of sensitivity that may be inaccessible to electron-EDM experiments. The improvement in the sensitivity to \\(\\theta_{QCD}\\), a parameter crucial in axion and axion dark matter physics, is about three orders of magnitude.

Regarding the letter \"A Fur Rancher's Defense\" [Nov. 7] by Robert A. Barrett, who raises chinchillas for fur: Barrett takes issue with a previous letter criticizing the fur industry [\"Spare the Animals,\" Oct. 21]. Instead of defending his trade, however, Barrett provides us with an expert's admission that the fur coats we see in the ads are obtained by killing millions of animals each year.

In this paper, we describe a future electron-ion collider (EIC), based on the existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) hadron facility, with two intersecting superconducting rings, each 3.8 km in circumference. A new ERL accelerator, which provide 5-30 GeV electron beam, will ensure 10^33 to 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1 level luminosity.
