By looking at the parity-nonconserving (PNC) asymmetries at different energies in $\vec{p} p$ scattering, it is in principle possible to determine the PNC $\rho NN$ and $\omega NN$ couplings of a single-meson-exchange model of the PNC $NN$…
We calculate nuclear spin-dependent parity non-conserving $E1$-amplitudes for optical transition $6p_{1/2,F} -> 6p_{3/2,F'}$ and for hyperfine transition $6p_{1/2,F} -> 6p_{1/2,F'}$ in Tl. Experimental limit on the former amplitude placed…
