Continuous-wave laser absorption spectroscopy of the Thorium-229 nucleus
I. Morawetz, T. Riebner, L. Toscani De Col +17
A low-energy nuclear transition in the isotope thorium-229 has been excited in thorium-doped crystals with laser light. This opens the perspective towards a highly stable and robus…
A thorium-229 optical nuclear clock with feedback loop
L. Toscani De Col, T. Riebner, I. Morawetz +25
The laser-accessible nuclear transition in the thorium-229 isotope has been identified as a promising candidate for the realization of an optical nuclear clock. Such a nuclear cloc…
metastable state of for a hyperfine-free nuclear clock
S. Sagar Maurya, V. Lal, J. Tiedau +2
We present measurements on a metastable state in with the electronic configuration . This is motivated by the prospect o…
Laser spectroscopy on the hyperfine structure and isotope shift of sympathetically cooled Th ions
G. Zitzer, J. Tiedau, Ch. E. Düllmann +2
The hyperfine structure of Th ions in the nuclear ground state is investigated via laser spectroscopy of trapped Th ions that are sympathetically cooled by la…
Laser-Induced Quenching of the Th-229 Nuclear Clock Isomer in Calcium Fluoride
F. Schaden, T. Riebner, I. Morawetz +11
The 10-minute radiative lifetime of the first excited Th nuclear state in ionic crystals provides narrow spectroscopic linewidths, enabling the realization of a soli…
