Can extreme electromagnetic fields accelerate the decay of nuclei?
Adriana Pálffy, Sergey V. Popruzhenko
The possibility to control the decay channel of atomic nuclei with electromagnetic fields of extreme intensities envisaged for the near future at multi-petawatt and exawatt las…
Mo isomer depletion via beam-based nuclear excitation by electron capture
Yuanbin Wu, Christoph H. Keitel, Adriana Pálffy
A recent nuclear physics experiment [C. J. Chiara {\it et al.}, Nature (London) {\bf 554}, 216 (2018)] reports the first direct observation of nuclear excitation by electron captur…
Theoretical predictions for the magnetic dipole moment of Th
Nikolay Minkov, Adriana Pálffy
A recent laser spectroscopy experiment [J. Thielking et al., Nature (London) 556, 321 (2018)] has determined for the first time the magnetic dipole moment of the 7.8 eV isomeric st…
Reduced transition probabilities for the gamma decay of the 7.8 eV isomer in Th
Nikolay Minkov, Adriana Pálffy
The reduced magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole transition probabilities for the radiative decay of the Th 7.8 eV isomer to the ground state are predicted within a deta…
Laser-Nucleus Reactions: Population of States far above Yrast and far from Stability
A. Pálffy, H. A. Weidenmüller
Nuclear reactions induced by a strong zeptosecond laser pulse are studied theoretically in the quasiadiabatic regime where the photon absorption rate is comparable to the nuclear e…
Isomer triggering via nuclear excitation by electron capture
Adriana Pálffy, Jörg Evers, Christoph H. Keitel
Triggering of long-lived nuclear isomeric states via coupling to the atomic shells in the process of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC) is studied. NEEC occurring in hig…
