Abstract

A semi-empirical calculation of the 6s - 7s Stark amplitude α\alpha in Cs has been performed using the most accurate measurements and calculations of the electromagnetic amplitudes available. This is then used to extract the parameters of the electroweak theory from experimental data. The results are: α=269.0(1.3)a03\alpha = 269.0 (1.3) a_0^3, weak charge of Cs QW=72.41(25)exp(80)theorQ_W = -72.41(25)_{exp} (80)_{theor}, deviation from the Standard model S=1.0(.3)exp(1.0)theorS = -1.0(.3)_{exp} (1.0)_{theor} and limit on the mass of the extra Z-boson in SO(10) model MZx>550GeVM_{Z_x} > 550 GeV.
