Fock-space perturbed relativistic coupled-cluster calculations of electric dipole polarizability and nuclear spin-dependent parity non-conservation in Cs (2408.04356v2)

Abstract: We implement the Fock-space perturbed relativistic coupled-cluster theory to compute the electric dipole polarizability of ground and low lying excited states, and nuclear spin-dependent parity violating (NSD-PNC) transition amplitudes in Cs. Moreover, to check the accuracy of the wavefunctions used in the calculations, we compute the excitation energies, E1 transition amplitudes and magnetic dipole hyperfine constants for ground and low lying excited states. To improve the accuracy of the computed properties, we have incorporated the corrections from the relativistic and QED effects in our calculations. The contributions from triple excitations are accounted perturbatively. Our results on excitation energies, E1 transition amplitudes and hyperfine constants are in good agreement with the available experimental results. Our polarizability results using FS-PRCC theory match well with the experimental values. The values of parity-violating transition amplitudes from our calculations are, in general, on the lower side of the previous values. From the detail analysis of electron correlations, we find that the corrections from the Breit interaction and QED effects are important to get accurate results of NSD-PNC amplitudes in Cs. The largest cumulative contribution from the Breit and QED corrections is found to be $\approx$ 3.2\% of the total value. The upper bound on the theoretical uncertainty in our calculated NSD-PNC amplitudes is estimated to be about 1\%.
