Abstract
An experiment to observe parity nonconservation using the \5p(6)6s](1/ 2)-->\5P(6)5d](3/2) transition in Ba+ has been proposed [N. Fortson, P hys. Rev. Lett., 70, 2383 (1993)]. We have carried out relativistic co nfiguration-interaction calculations to explore whether the \5p(6)6s]( 1/2) -->\5p(6)5d](5/2) and \6p(6)7 s](1/2)-->\6p(6)6d](5/2) transition s in Ba+ and Ra+ respectively are good candidates for carrying out sim iliar experiments to measure the nuclear anapole moment. Our results s uggest that Ra+ might be a good candidate for such an experiment.
