Predominant Nuclear Excitation by Electron Capture Driven by Beam-Induced Return Currents
Y. Y. Xu, J. T. Qi, H. Peng +5
Predicted nearly five decades ago, nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC) remains experimentally elusive because its weak resonant signal is obscured by competing electron-d…
Charge state regulation of nuclear excitation by electron capture in Th ions
Yang-Yang Xu, Qiong Xiao, Jun-Hao Cheng +2
Nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC) in Th holds significant potential for precise nuclear state manipulation. In this study, we thoroughly investigate NEEC in $^{…
Cascading nuclear excitation of \(^{235}\text{U}\) via inelastic electron scattering in laser-irradiated clusters
Qiong Xiao, Yangyang Xu, Junhao Cheng +4
Nuclear excitation induced by lasers holds broad application prospects in precision metrology and nuclear energy, such as nuclear batteries and nuclear clocks. In the present work,…
Inelastic electron scattering-induced nuclear excitation rates and dynamics in Th
Yang-Yang Xu, Jun-Hao Cheng, You-Tian Zou +2
In the present work, we investigate the excitation rates and population dynamics of Th nuclei induced by inelastic electron scattering, focusing on how electron energy, flu…
