Exploring - and -decay-induced quenching of the Th nuclear-clock isomer in solid-state hosts
Y. Elskens, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. Arasada Pradeep +52
The radiative decay dynamics of an ensemble of Th nuclei embedded in CaF and MgF is investigated. The isomer is populated through decay of Ac…
Radiative Decay of the Th Nuclear Clock Isomer in Different Host Materials
S. V. Pineda, P. Chhetri, S. Bara +42
A comparative vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy study conducted at ISOLDE-CERN of the radiative decay of the Th nuclear clock isomer embedded in different host materials is…
Observation of the radiative decay of the nuclear clock isomer
Sandro Kraemer, Janni Moens, Michail Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +32
The nucleus of the radioisotope thorium-229 (Th) features an isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy that enables direct laser manipulation of nuclear states.…
Excitation and probing of low-energy nuclear states at high-energy storage rings
Junlan Jin, Hendrik Bekker, Tobias Kirschbaum +6
Th with a low-lying nuclear isomeric state is an essential candidate for a nuclear clock as well as many other applications. Laser excitation of the isomeric state has been…
'Phase Transition' in the 'Thorium-Isomer Story'
P. G. Thirolf, B. Seiferle, L. v. d. Wense +3
Given the drastic progress achieved during recent years in our knowledge on the decay and nuclear properties of the thorium isomer 229mTh, the focus of research on this potential n…
Expanding Nuclear Physics Horizons with the Gamma Factory
Dmitry Budker, Julian C. Berengut, Victor V. Flambaum +13
The Gamma Factory (GF) is an ambitious proposal, currently explored within the CERN Physics Beyond Colliders program, for a source of photons with energies up to MeV…
