Core-polarization contribution to the nuclear anapole moment

The importance of core contributions to the anapole moment in nuclei is examined. A model of the core-polarization correction is presented. The model is based on the coupling of the valence particles to the spin-dipole ${J=1\mathrm{}}^{-}$ giant resonances of the core. A shell-model calculation of this correction is presented. The single-particle moments are calculated with Woods-Saxon and Skyrme Hartree-Fock radial wave functions, and the general issues associated with nuclear configuration mixing are discussed.
