Abstract

We have developed a new experimental technique for precisely measuring parity nonconservation (PNG) in atomic cesium. Measurements of parity nonconservation in atoms are a unique probe of the fundamental interactions between electrons and nucleons. As well as probing the details of electroweak unification, such as the effect of radiative corrections, they also allow us to test a variety of interesting theories which predict such features as grand unification and supersymmetry. Cesium is a particularly good atom to study because the large atomic number enhances the PNC effect, but its highly single-electron character allows precise interpretation of the results.
