abstract
The anapole moment of a nucleus is a parity non-conserving (PNC), time reversal conserving moment that arises from weak interactions between the nucleons. Thus, it can only be detected in a PNC electron-nucleus interaction. The proposed experiment takes place in a controlled environment with well defined handedness. An interference technique to enhance a signal which changes as one change the handedness of the experiment is given.
