QED Radiative Corrections to Parity Nonconservation in Heavy Atoms

QED Radiative Corrections to Parity Nonconservation in Heavy Atoms

The self-energy and vertex QED radiative corrections (Z alpha^2 f(Z alpha)) are shown to give a large negative contribution to the parity nonconserving (PNC) amplitude in heavy atoms. The correction -0.7(2)% found for the 6s-7s PNC amplitude in Cs brings the experimental result for this transition into agreement with the …
