  Fr atom can be successively used to search for the atomic permanent electric
dipole moment (EDM) [Hyperfine Interactions 236, 53 (2015); Journal of Physics:
Conference Series 691, 012017 (2016)]. It can be induced by the permanent
electron EDM predicted by modern extensions of the standard model to be nonzero
at the level accessible by the new generation of EDM experiments. We consider
another mechanism of the atomic EDM generation in Fr. This is caused by the
scalar-pseudoscalar nucleus-electron neutral current interaction with the
dimensionless strength constant, $k_{T,P}$. Similar to the electron EDM this
interaction violates both spatial parity and time-reversal symmetries and can
also induce permanent atomic EDM. It was shown in [Phys. Rev. D 89, 056006
(2014)] that the scalar-pseudoscalar contribution to the atomic EDM can
dominate over the direct contribution from the electron EDM within the standard
model. We report high-accuracy combined all-electron and two-step relativistic
coupled cluster treatment of the effect from the scalar-pseudoscalar
interaction in the Fr atom. Up to the quadruple cluster amplitudes within the
CCSDT(Q) method were included in correlation treatment. This calculation is
required for the interpretation of the experimental data in terms of $k_{T,P}$.
The resulted EDM of the Fr atom expressed in terms of $k_{T,P}$ is $d_{\rm Fr}=
k_{T,P} \cdot 4.50\cdot10^{-18} e\cdot {\rm cm}$, where $e$ is the charge of
the electron. The value of the ionization potential of the $^2S_{1/2}$ ground
state of Fr calculated within the same methods is in a very good agreement with
the experiment.
