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…
