Lifetime of the singly charged Th nuclear isomer
Y. Shigekawa, A. Yamaguchi, K. Tokoi +6
The nucleus of thorium-229 (Th) has an exceptionally low-energy isomeric state (Th). Because its excitation energy is close to the energy levels of valenc…
X-ray-induced quenching of the Th clock isomer in CaF
Ming Guan, Michael Bartokos, Kjeld Beeks +27
Thorium-229 has the lowest nuclear-excited state (an isomer state) at approximately 8.356 eV, making it excitable with tabletop vacuum-ultraviolet lasers. Despite the recent succes…
Controlling Th isomeric state population in a VUV transparent crystal
Takahiro Hiraki, Koichi Okai, Michael Bartokos +27
The radioisotope Th-229 is renowned for its extraordinarily low-energy, long-lived nuclear first-excited state. This isomeric state can be excited by VUV lasers and the transition…
Energy of the Th Nuclear Clock Isomer Determined by Absolute -ray Energy Difference
A. Yamaguchi, H. Muramatsu, T. Hayashi +10
The low-lying isomeric state of Th provides unique opportunities for high-resolution laser spectroscopy of the atomic nucleus. We determine the energy of this isomeric stat…
