Defect Dynamics and Isomer Quenching in Th:CaF Crystals
Ming Guan, Michael Bartokos, Kjeld Beeks +16
Thorium-229 doped calcium fluoride (Th:CaF) is a leading candidate for a solid-state nuclear clock, owing to the unusually low energy of the Th isomer transitio…
Control of emission interval and timing in triggered periodic superradiance
Hideaki Hara, Riku Omoto, Noboru Sasao +6
To achieve more controllable development of coherence in solids, we investigated the effect of a trigger laser tuned to the superradiance transition wavelength on periodic superrad…
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…
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…
Analytical and numerical studies of periodic superradiance
Hideaki Hara, Yuki Miyamoto, Junseok Han +6
We conduct a theoretical study to understand the periodic superradiance observed in an Er:YSO crystal. First, we construct a model based on the Maxwell-Bloch equations for a reduce…
A method to detect the VUV photons from cooled Th:CaF crystals
Ming Guan, Michael Bartokos, Kjeld Beeks +13
Thorium-229, with its exceptionally low-energy nuclear excited state, is a key candidate for developing nuclear clocks. Th-doped CaF crystals, benefiting from calcium f…
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…
Parity violating magnetization at neutrino pair emission using trivalent lanthanoid ions
H. Hara, A. Yoshimi, M. Yoshimura
A new detection method using magnetization generated at triggered radiative emission of neutrino pairs (RENP), (ato…
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…
Fast X-ray detector system with simultaneous measurement of timing and energy for a single photon
T. Masuda, S. Okubo, H. Hara +12
We developed a fast X-ray detector system for nuclear resonant scattering (NRS) experiments. Our system employs silicon avalanche photo-diode (Si-APD) as a fast X-ray sensor. The s…
A new method of creating high intensity neutron source
T. Masuda, A. Yoshimi, M. Yoshimura
We propose a new scheme of producing intense neutron beam whose yields exceed those of existing facilities by many orders of magnitude. This scheme uses the recently proposed photo…

N. Sasao, S. Uetake, A. Yoshimi +2
It is proposed to use the isomer ionic ground state Th embedded in transparent crystals for precision determination of unknown neutrino parameters. Isolation from s…
