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…

Towards an energy measurement of the internal conversion electron in the de-excitation of the Th-229 isomer
Simon Stellmer, Yudai Shigekawa, Veronika Rosecker +5
The first excited isomeric state of Th-229 has an exceptionally low energy of only a few eV and could form the gateway to high-precision laser spectroscopy of nuclei. The excitatio…
