Parity Violation
Parity-transformed world:
Turn the mirror image upside down.
The parity-transformed world is not identical
with the real world.
Parity is not
conserved.
Searches for New Physics
Beyond the Standard Model
High energies
(1) Search for new processes
or particles directly
(2) Study (very precisely!)
quantities which Standard Model
predicts and compare the result
with its prediction

Constraints on nuclear weak
coupling contants

Nuclear anapole moment:
test of hadronic weak interations
The constraints obtained from the Cs experiment
were found to be inconsistent with constraints
from other nuclear PNC measurements, which
favor a smaller value of the133Cs anapole moment.
All-order (LCCSD) calculation of spin-dependent PNC amplitude:
k = 0.107(16)* [ 1% theory accuracy ]
No significant difference with previous value k = 0.112(16) is found.

wave function of the valence electron v is represented
as an expansion that includes all possible single,
double, and partial triple excitations.

The code was developed to implement Wick’s
theorem and simplify the resulting expressions.

Input: expression of the type

in ASCII format.
Output: simplified resulting formula in the LaTex format, ASCII
output is also generated.
Program features
1) The code is set to work with two or three normal products (all possible
cases) with large number of operators.
2) The code differentiates between different types of indices, i.e.
core (a,b,c,…), valence (v,w,x,y,...), excited orbitals (m,n,r,s,…), and
general case (i, j, k, l,…).
3) The operators are ordered as required in the same order for all terms.
gmnba rswc am an ar as aa ab ac aw
4) The expression is simplified to account for the identical
terms and symmetry rules,
gijkl  g jilk .
5) The direct and exchange terms are joined together,
gijkl  gijkl  gijlk .
Symbolic computing for program
generation
The resulting expressions that need to be evaluated
numerically contain very large number of terms, resulting in
tedious coding and debugging.
The symbolic program generator was developed for this
purpose to automatically generate efficient numerical codes for
coupled-cluster or perturbation theory terms.

uncertainty
HOW TO ESTIMATE WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW?

(a) Evaluation of the size of the correlation corrections
(b) Importance of the high-order contributions
(c) Distribution of the correlation correction
II. Semi-empirical scaling: estimate missing terms

Summary of theory methods for

• Configuration interaction (CI)
• Many-body perturbation theory
• Relativistic all-order method (coupled-cluster)
• Perturbation theory in the screened Coulomb

CI works for systems with many valence electrons
but can not accurately account for core-valence
and core-core correlations.
MBPT can not accurately describe valence-valence
correlation for large systems but accounts well
for core-core and core-valence correlations.
Therefore, two methods are combined to
acquire benefits from both approaches.
