Laser Mössbauer spectroscopy of ^{229}Th
Takahiro Hiraki, Takahiko Masuda, Sayuri Takatori +23
Mössbauer spectroscopy is widely used in biochemistry, geology, and solid-state physics to obtain structural information on materials. Here, we extend this technique into the optic…
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…
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…
Nuclear resonant scattering experiment with fast time response: new scheme for observation of Th radiative decay
A. Yoshimi, H. Hara, T. Hiraki +24
Nuclear resonant excitation of the 29.19-keV level in Th with high-brilliance synchrotron- radiation and detection of its decay signal, are proposed with the aim of populat…
