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…
Laser spectroscopic characterization of the nuclear clock isomer Th
Johannes Thielking, Maxim V. Okhapkin, Przemyslaw Glowacki +6
The isotope Th is the only nucleus known to possess an excited state Th in the energy range of a few electron volts, a transition energy typical for electrons in t…
Feasibility Study of Internal Conversion Electron Spectroscopy of Th
Benedict Seiferle, Lars von der Wense, Peter G. Thirolf
With an expected energy of 7.8(5) eV, the isomeric first excited state in Th exhibits the lowest excitation energy of all known nuclei. Until today, a value for the excitat…
