Vacuum-Polarization Corrections to Parity-Nonconserving Effects in Atomic Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dominant one-loop vacuum-polarization correction to atomic wave functions are evaluated for the 6s–7s parity nonconserving (PNC) E1 transition amplitude in cesium. This correction increases the size of the PNC amplitude by 0.4% and thus increases the difference between the experimental value of the weak charge QW and the one predicted by the standard model.

Vacuum-polarization corrections to the parity-nonconserving 6s-7s transition amplitude in (133)Cs.
The dominant one-loop radiative corrections to atomic wave functions, those associated with vacuum polarization in the nuclear Coulomb field, are evaluated for the 6s-7s parity-nonconserving transition amplitude in (133)Cs. These corrections increase the size of this amplitude by 0.4% and, correspondingly, increase the difference between the experimental value of the weak charge Q(W)((133)Cs) a...
متن کاملThe Standard Model in Strong Fields: Electroweak Radiative Corrections for Highly Charged Ions
Electroweak radiative corrections to the matrix elements 〈ns1/2|ĤPNC|n′p1/2〉 are calculated for highly charged hydrogenlike ions. These matrix elements constitute the basis for the description of the most parity nonconserving (PNC) processes in atomic physics. The operator ĤPNC represents the parity nonconserving relativistic effective atomic Hamiltonian at the tree level. The deviation of thes...
متن کاملNuclear Anapole Moments and the Parity-nonconserving Nuclear Interaction
The anapole moment is a parity-odd and time-reversal-even electromagnetic moment. Although it was conjectured shortly after the discovery of parity nonconservation, its existence has not been confirmed until recently in heavy nuclear systems, which are known to be the suitable laboratories because of the manybody enhancement. By carefully identifying the nuclear-spin-dependent atomic parity non...
متن کاملElectroweak Radiative Corrections To Polarized Møller Scattering Asymmetries
One loop electroweak radiative corrections to left-right parity violating Møller scattering (e−e− → e−e−) asymmetries are presented. They reduce the standard model (tree level) prediction by 40±3 % where the main shift and uncertainty stem from hadronic vacuum polarization loops. A similar reduction also occurs for the electron-electron atomic parity violating interaction. That effect can be at...
متن کاملCorrelated many-body treatment of the Breit interaction with application to cesium atomic properties and parity violation
Corrections from the Breit interaction to basic properties of atomic Cs are determined in the framework of third-order relativistic many-body perturbation theory. The corrections to energies, hyperfine-structure constants, off-diagonal hyperfine 6S-7S amplitude, and electric-dipole matrix elements are tabulated. It is demonstrated that the Breit corrections to correlations are comparable to the...
