Thorium-229 in its Highest Charge States: Single-Ion Nuclear Clocks for Tests of Fundamental Interactions

C. Brandau, P. Micke, I. Hartl +6

The prospects and the implementation of single-ion nuclear clocks of ${}^{229}$Th${}^{q+}$ ions in their highest charge states $q=90,\dots ,87$ are discussed. Highly-ionized-thorium…
