Anomalous anapole moment of an exotic nucleus

Abstract

Using the information on the nuclear structure of exotic neutron-rich halo nucleus 11^{11}Be, we evaluate the parity violating anapole moment in its ground state. The resulting value κ(11\kappa(^{11}Be)=0.17=0.17 is fifteen times bigger than the typical value of the anapole moment of a normal nucleus of the same mass, and in fact exceeds by few times anapole moments of any known neutron-odd nuclei (e.g., kappa(^{11}Be) > 2|\kappa(^{207}Pb)|. It is also few times bigger than the neutral current contribution to the lepton-nucleus interaction.
