'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…
Energy of the Th nuclear clock transition
Benedict Seiferle, Lars von der Wense, Pavlo V. Bilous +8
The first nuclear excited state of Th offers the unique opportunity for laser-based optical control of a nucleus. Its exceptional properties allow for the development of a…
The concept of laser-based conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy for a precise energy determination of Th
Lars C. von der Wense, Benedict Seiferle, Christian Schneider +13
Th is the only nucleus currently under investigation for the development of a nuclear optical clock (NOC) of ultra-high accuracy. The insufficient knowledge of the first nu…
Towards a 229Th-based nuclear clock
Lars von der Wense, Benedict Seiferle, Peter G. Thirolf
An overview over the current status of the development of a nuclear clock based on the state of lowest known nuclear excitation energy in Th is presented. The text is espec…
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…
