Vacuum-polarization corrections to the parity-nonconserving 6s-7p transition amplitude in 133Cs
Abstract
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 (PNC) transition amplitude in 133Cs. These corrections increase the size of the PNC amplitude by 0.4% and, correspondingly, increase the difference between the experimental value of the weak charge QW(133Cs) and the value predicted by the standard model.
