Abstract
The search for parity nonconservation in heavy elements has been extended to the 1.28-μm magnetic dipole transition in atomic lead. The experimental result, , agrees, within the present uncertainties in experiment and atomic theory, with the prediction, , derived from the Weinberg-Salam-Glashow theory of weak neutral-current interactions.
