This paper completes the detailed presentation of our PV experiment on the 6S1/2 - 7S1/2 transition in Cs. A detailed description of the data acquisition and processing is given. The results of two independent measurements made on ΔF = 0 and ΔF =1 hfs components agree, providing an important cross-check. After a complete reanalysis of systematics and calibration, the precision is slightly improved, leading to the weighted average Im Epv 1/β = - 1.52 ± 0.18 mV/cm. Later results from an independent group agree quite well. With the semi-empirical value β = (26.8 ± 0.8) a30, our result yields Epv1 = (- 0.79 ± 0.10) x 10-11 i |e|a0. Coupled with the atomic calculations, this implies that the weak nuclear charge of Cs is Qw = -68 ± 9. This value agrees with the standard electroweak theory and leads to a weak interaction angle sin2 θ W = 0.21 ± 0.04. The complementarity of these measurements with high energy experiments is illustrated.

The parity violation induced by weak neutral currents is measured in a ΔF =1 hyperfine component of the 6S–7S transition of the Cs atom. The measured value ( Im E PV 1 β ) = −1.78 ± 0.26 (statistical rms deviation) ±0.12 (systematic uncertainty) mV/cm, agrees with our previous measurement in a ΔF =0 component, and constitutes an important cross-check. Our result excludes a parity violation induced by a purely axial hadronic neutral current.

Observation of a Parity Violation in Cesium

We have measured a parity violation in the 6S–7S transition of Cs in an electric field. Our result is Im E 1 pv β = -1.34 ± 0.22 ( rms statistical deviation ) ± ∼0.11 ( systematic uncertainty ) mV cm; E 1 pv is the parity violating electric dipole amplitude, ß is the vector polarizability. This result is consistent with the Weinberg-Salam prediction.
