A cryogenic Paul trap for probing the nuclear isomeric excited state Th
Daniel Moritz, Kevin Scharl, Markus Wiesinger +16
While laser excitation of the nuclear isomeric transition in Th has been recently achieved for thorium atoms embedded in large-bandgap crystals, laser excitation and charac…
Th Nuclear Spectroscopy in an Opaque Material: Laser-Based Conversion Electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy of ThO
Ricky Elwell, James E. S. Terhune, Christian Schneider +11
Here, we report the first demonstration of laser-induced conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy of the Th nuclear isomeric state, which provides the ability to probe th…
'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…
The Th isomer: prospects for a nuclear optical clock
Lars von der Wense, Benedict Seiferle
The proposal for the development of a nuclear optical clock has triggered a multitude of experimental and theoretical studies. In particular the prediction of an unprecedented syst…
Electronic bridge excitation in highly charged Th-229 ions
Pavlo V. Bilous, Hendrik Bekker, Julian Berengut +6
The excitation of the 8 eV Th isomer through the electronic bridge mechanism in highly charged ions is investigated theoretically. By exploiting the rich level scheme of o…
The theory of direct laser excitation of nuclear transitions
Lars von der Wense, Pavlo V. Bilous, Benedict Seiferle +5
A comprehensive theoretical study of direct laser excitation of a nuclear state based on the density matrix formalism is presented. The nuclear clock isomer Th is d…
