New directions in atomic PNC

چکیده
A preliminary all-order calculation of the spin-dependent (PNC) amplitude in Cs is carried out in an attempt to understand discrepancies in weak nucleon-nucleon coupling constants derived from atomic and nuclear experiments [W.C. Haxton and C.E. Wieman, Ann. Rev. Nucl. Part. Sci. 51, 261 (2001)]. We find that individual PNC matrix elements significantly change with more complete inclusion of the correlation corrections, whereas changes in the total spin-dependent PNC amplitude are relatively small. Our preliminary value of the anapole coupling constant κa = 0.88(12) is only 5% lower than the value used by Haxton and Wieman.

A New Polymeric Nanocomposite Coating for Corrosion Protection of Carbon Steel in HCl Solution
In the present work, four polymeric nanocomposite PNC coatings were prepared with different concentrations of yttrium aluminum garnet nanoparticles YAG-NPs in polyvinyl butyral PVB matrix. The corrosion protection of the PNC coatings applied on the carbon steel surface was investigated in 1.0 M HCl solution by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS. The YAG-NPs were synthesized by pulse ele...
متن کاملTowards measuring nuclear-spin-dependent and isotopic-chain atomic parity violation in Ytterbium
We discuss experiments aimed at measurements of atomic parity nonconservation (PNC) effects in the 6s 1S0 → 5d6s 3D1 transition (408 nm) in atomic Ytterbium (Z=70). According to theoretical predictions, the PNC-induced E1 amplitude of this transition is ∼ 100 times larger than the analogous amplitude in Cs. Such an experiment will determine differences in PNC effects between different hyperfine...
متن کاملAtomic parity nonconservation: Electroweak parameters and nuclear structure.
There have been suggestions to measure atomic parity nonconservation (PNC) along an isotopic chain, by taking ratios of observables in order to cancel complicated atomic structure effects. Precise atomic PNC measurements could make a significant contribution to tests of the Standard Model at the level of one loop radiative corrections. However, the results also depend upon certain features of n...
متن کاملVacuum-Polarization Corrections to Parity-Nonconserving Effects in Atomic Systems
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.
متن کاملThe FrPNC Experiment, weak interaction studies in Francium at TRIUMF
Francium is an excellent system to study the nuclear weak force due to its large nucleus and relatively simple atomic structure. The FrPNC experiment has a facility to produce cold trapped atomic francium samples for parity non-conservation studies. We are preparing to measure both the nuclear spin independent and dependent parts of the weak interaction in francium. The first one gives informat...
