A development of the CI + all-order method and application to the parity-nonconserving amplitude and other properties of Pb
Abstract
We have further developed and extended a method for calculation of atomic properties based on a combination of the configuration interaction and coupled-cluster approach. We have applied this approach to the calculation of different properties of atomic lead, including the energy levels, hyperfine structure constants, electric-dipole transition amplitudes, and E1 parity nonconserving (PNC) amplitude for the (6p2) 3P0 - (6p2) 3P1 transition. The uncertainty of the E1 PNC amplitude was reduced by a factor of two in comparison with the previous most accurate calculation [V.~A.~Dzuba et.al., Europhys. Lett. 7, 413 (1988)]. Our value for the weak charge QW=-117(5) is in agreement with the standard model prediction.
