Calculation of parity nonconservation in xenon and mercury
Calculation of parity nonconservation in xenon and mercury
We use configuration interaction technique to calculate parity nonconservation in metastable Xe and Hg [proposal of the experiment in L. Bougas et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 210801 (2012)]. Both nuclear-spin-independent and nuclear-spin-dependent (dominated by the nuclear anapole moment) parts of the amplitude are considered. The amplitudes are strongly enhanced …
