Abstract
We consider the implications of the recent measurement of the W-boson mass MW=80,433.5±9.4MeV/c2 for atomic parity violation experiments. We show that the change in MW shifts the Standard Model prediction for the 133Cs nuclear weak charge to QW(133Cs)=−73.11(1), i.e., by 8.5σ from its current value, and the proton weak charge by 2.7%. The shift in QW(133Cs) ameliorates the tension between existing determinations of its value and motivates more accurate atomic theory calculations, while the shift in QW(p) inspires next-generation atomic parity violation experiments with hydrogen. Using our revised value for QW(133Cs), we also readjust constraints on parameters of physics beyond the Standard Model. Finally, we reexamine the running of the electroweak coupling for the new W boson mass.
