Abstract

Highly correlated pure {\it{ab initio}} relativistic configuration interaction theory is in the present paper applied to the calculation of the tensor-pseudotensor (P,T){\cal{(P,T)}}-violating nucleon-electron interaction constant in the electronic ground states of atomic mercury and radium. The final best obtained results are RTR_T(Hg) = 4.43-4.43\, [102010^{-20} <σN>\left<\sigma_N\right> ee cm] and RTR_T(Ra) = 15.0-15.0\, [102010^{-20} <σN>\left<\sigma_N\right> ee cm]. The accuracy of the employed electronic-structure models are confirmed by determining the static electric dipole polarizability αd\alpha_d(Hg) = 35.735.7 {\it{a.u.}} which is in accord with the experimental value to about 55\%. RTR_T(Ra) will be useful for constraining (or obtaining) the (CP){\cal{(CP)}}-violating parameter CTC_T when combined with future measurements of the electric dipole moment of the radium atom.
