Exploring - and -decay-induced quenching of the Th nuclear-clock isomer in solid-state hosts
Y. Elskens, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. Arasada Pradeep +52
The radiative decay dynamics of an ensemble of Th nuclei embedded in CaF and MgF is investigated. The isomer is populated through decay of Ac…
Radiative Decay of the Th Nuclear Clock Isomer in Different Host Materials
S. V. Pineda, P. Chhetri, S. Bara +42
A comparative vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy study conducted at ISOLDE-CERN of the radiative decay of the Th nuclear clock isomer embedded in different host materials is…
Observation of the radiative decay of the nuclear clock isomer
Sandro Kraemer, Janni Moens, Michail Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +32
The nucleus of the radioisotope thorium-229 (Th) features an isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy that enables direct laser manipulation of nuclear states.…
An alternative approach to populate and study the Th nuclear clock isomer
M. Verlinde, S. Kraemer, J. Moens +24
A new approach to observe the radiative decay of the Th nuclear isomer, and to determine its energy and radiative lifetime, is presented. Situated at a uniquely low excitat…
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…
Towards a direct transition energy measurement of the lowest nuclear excitation in 229Th
L. v. d. Wense, P. G. Thirolf, D. Kalb +1
The isomeric first excited state of the isotope 229Th exhibits the lowest nuclear excitation energy in the whole landscape of known atomic nuclei. For a long time this energy was r…
