Abstract

Parity violation (PV) in the Cs 6S-7S transition, measured in several experiments [1], quantitatively agrees with the prediction of the standard electroweak model within the accuracy of ∿ 10%. However, fundamental features remain unobserved: in particular, manifestations of electroweak radiative corrections, as well as of the vector-electronic axial-nucleonic contribution in the coupling of the Z° boson. Our primary goal is now to test these features through more precise measurements (∿ 1%).
