Abstract
The complete gauge-invariant set of the one-loop QED corrections to the parity-nonconserving 6s-7s amplitude in Cs is evaluated to all orders in using a local version of the Dirac-Hartree-Fock potential. The calculations are peformed in both length and velocity gauges for the absorbed photon. The total binding QED correction is found to be -0.27(3)%, which differs from previous evaluations of this effect. The weak charge of Cs, derived using two most accurate values of the vector transition polarizability , is for and for . The first value deviates by from the prediction of the Standard Model, while the second one is in perfect agreement with it.
