Nuclear coherent population transfer to the ${}^{229m}$Th isomer using x-ray pulses

Tobias Kirschbaum, Nikolay Minkov, Adriana Pálffy

Population of the 8 eV ${}^{229m}$Th isomer via the second nuclear excited state at 29.19 keV by means of coherent x-ray pulses is investigated theoretically. We focus on two nuclear…
