Parity nonconservation in dielectronic recombination of multiply charged ions

We discuss a parity nonconserving (PNC) asymmetry in the cross section of dielectronic recombination of polarized electrons on multiply charged ions with Z>40. This effect is strongly enhanced for close doubly-excited states of opposite parity in the intermediate compound ion. Such states are known for He-like ions. However, these levels have large energy and large radiative widths which hampers observation of the PNC asymmetry. We argue that accidentally degenerate states of the more complex ions may be more suitable for the corresponding experiment.

Molecular CP-violating magnetic moment

A concept of CP-violating (T,P-odd) permanent molecular magnetic moments $μ^{CP}$ is introduced. We relate the moments to the electric dipole moment of electron (eEDM) and estimate $μ^{CP}$ for several diamagnetic polar molecules. The moments exhibit a steep, Z^5, scaling with the nuclear charge Z of the heavier molecular constituent. A measurement of the CP-violating magnetization of a polarized sample of heavy molecules may improve the present limit on eEDM by several orders of magnitude.

Precision calculations of atoms with few valence electrons

We discuss the possibility of using pair-equations for the construction of the effective Hamiltonian $H_{\rm eff}$ for valence electrons of an atom. The low-energy part of atomic spectrum is found by solving the eigenvalue problem for $H_{\rm eff}$. In this way it is possible to account efficiently for the valence-valence and core-valence correlations. We tested this method on a toy model of a four-electron atom with the core $1s^2$. The spectrum obtained with $H_{\rm eff}$ for two valence electrons is in a perfect agreement with the full configuration interaction for all four electrons.

Parity non-conservation in thallium

We report a new calculation of the parity non-conserving E1 amplitude for the 6p_{1/2} -> 6p_{3/2} transition in Tl. Our result for the reduced matrix element is $E1_{PNC}=-(66.7 \pm 1.7) i 10^{-11} (-Q_W/N)$ a.u. Comparison with the experiment of Vetter et al [PRL,{\bf 74},2658 (1995)] gives the following result for the weak charge of $^{205}$Tl: $Q_W/Q_W^{SM} = 0.97 (\pm 0.01)_{expt} (\pm 0.03)_{theor}$, where $Q_W^{SM}=-116.7$ is the standard model prediction. This result confirms an earlier conclusion based on the analysis of a Cs experiment that atomic PNC experiments are in agreement with the standard model.
