Abstract: Atomic Parity Violation (APV) is usually quantified in terms of the weak nuclear charge QW of a nucleus, which depends on the coupling strength between the atomic electrons and quarks. In this work, we review the importance of APV to probing new physics using effective field theory. Furthermore, using SU(2) invariance, we correlate our findings with those from neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering. Moreover, we investigate signs of parity violation in polarized electron scattering and show how precise measurements on the Weinberg angle, sinhetaW, will give rise to competitive bounds on light mediators over a wide range of masses and interactions strength. Lastly, apply our bounds to several models namely, Dark Z, Two Higgs Doublet Model-U(1)X and 3-3-1, considering both light and heavy mediator regimes.
