The Parity Non-Conserving 3P0--1P1 E1 Transition Amplitude of the Atomic Yb

Abstract

The atomic parity non-conservation(PNC) experiments has reached accuracies which have important implications for physics beyond the standard model. An optical rotation experiment to measure the atomic PNC of the 3P1(6s6p)--1P1(6s6p) in Yb was proposed recently. Our screened electron-electron coulomb potential multi-configuration Dirac-Fock calculation of th PNC induced E1 transition amplitude of this transition E1_PNC = -96.0 x 10^{-11}iea_0(-Q_W/N) of 171Yb is more than two orders of magnitude larger than E1_PNC(6s-7s) = -0.8991 x 10^{-11}iea_0(-Q_W/N) of 133Cs.
