Abstract

We have studied the correlation effects in Cs and Fr arising from the interplay of the residual Coulomb interaction to all orders and the neutral weak interaction which gives rise to the parity violating electric dipole transition to first order, within the framework of the relativistic coupled-cluster theory which circumvents the constrain of explicitly summing over the intermediate states. We observe that, the contributions arising from the perturbed doubly excited states are quite significant and hence, any calculation should not be considered accurate unless it includes the perturbed double excitations comprehensively. In this article, we have reported a comparative study of various results related to the parity violation in Cs and Fr.
