The electromagnetic transition between the almost degenerate $5/{2}^{+}$ and $3/{2}^{+}$ states in $^{229}\mathrm{Th}$ is deemed to be very sensitive to potential changes in the fine structure constant $\ensuremath{\alpha}$. State of the art Hartree-Fock and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations are performed to compute the difference in Coulomb energies of the two states that …
