Abstract
Parity Non Conservation (PNC) in atomic systems can be observed in experiments using a single trapped ion and intense laser fields. The original proposal is based on a single barium ion. Here, we study the feasibility for carrying out similar experiment with a single radium ion. Since the PNC effect in atomic system increases faster than the Z 3, where Z is the atomic number, radium is a natural choice. The advantages and disadvantages of measuring atomic parity violation in radium ion are discussed.
