A new analysis of parity violation in atomic cesium has led to the improved value of the weak charge, $Q_W({\rm Cs}) = -72.06 \pm 0.46$. The implications of this result for constraining the Peskin-Takeuchi parameters S and T and for guiding…
We consider the implication of the recent measurement of the W-boson mass $M_W$ [Science 376, 170 (2022)] for atomic parity violation experiments. We show that the change in $M_W$ shifts the Standard Model prediction for the ${}^{133}$Cs…
