Lifetime measurement of the Th nuclear isomer
Benedict Seiferle, Lars von der Wense, Peter G. Thirolf
The first excited isomeric state of Th possesses the lowest energy among all known excited nuclear states. The expected energy is accessible with today's laser technology a…
Direct detection of the 229Th nuclear clock transition
Lars von der Wense, Benedict Seiferle, Mustapha Laatiaoui +9
Today's most precise time and frequency measurements are performed with optical atomic clocks. However, it has been proposed that they could potentially be outperformed by a nuclea…
The extraction of 229Th3+ from a buffer-gas stopping cell
Lars von der Wense, Benedict Seiferle, Mustapha Laatiaoui +1
In the whole landscape of atomic nuclei, Th is currently the only known nucleus which could allow for the development of a nuclear-based frequency standard, as it possesses…
A laser excitation scheme for Th
Lars von der Wense, Benedict Seiferle, Simon Stellmer +4
Direct laser excitation of the lowest known nuclear excited state in Th has been a longstanding objective. It is generally assumed that reaching this goal would require a c…
