Calculation of parity-nonconserving optical rotation in iodine at 1315 nm
We examine the feasibility of a parity non-conserving (PNC) optical rotation experiment for the $^2$P$_{3/2}\rightarrow ^2$P$_{1/2}$ transition of atomic iodine at 1315 nm. The calculated $E1_{\rm PNC}$ to $M1$ amplitude ratio is $R=0.80(16)\times 10^{-8}$. We show that very large PNC rotations (greater than 10 $\mu$rad) are obtained for iodine-atom column …
