Abstract
Contributions from the Breit interaction in atomic structure calculations account for of the previously reported deviation from the standard model in the weak charge [S. C. Bennett and C. E. Wieman, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2484 (1999)]. The updated corrections for the neutron distribution reduce the discrepancy further to . The updated value of the weak charge is .
