X-ray pumping of the Th-229 nuclear clock isomer
Takahiko Masuda, Akihiro Yoshimi, Akira Fujieda +27
Thorium-229 is a unique case in nuclear physics: it presents a metastable first excited state Th-229m, just a few electronvolts above the nuclear ground state. This so-called isome…

Energy response of X-rays under high flux conditions using a thin APD for the energy range of 6-33 keV
T. Masuda, T. Hiraki, H. Kaino +10
This paper reports on the demonstration of a high-rate energy measurement technique using a thin depletion layer silicon avalanche photodiode (Si-APD). A dedicated amplitude-to-tim…
