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…

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…

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…
