The 229Th nucleus has an isomeric state at an energy of about 8 eV above the ground state,
several orders of magnitude lower than typical nuclear excitation energies. This has inspired …

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 …

The low-energy, long-lived isomer in 229 Th, first studied in the 1970s as an exotic feature in
nuclear physics, continues to inspire a multidisciplinary community of physicists. It has …

ABSTRACT A 'year-2017'set of nuclear quadrupole moments, Q, is presented. Compared to
the previous,'year-2008'set, a major revision of the value, or an improvement of the accuracy …

The isotope 229Th is the only nucleus known to possess an excited state 229mTh in the
energy range of a few electronvolts—a transition energy typical for electrons in the valence …

Nous passons en revue les idées et concepts d'une horloge fondée sur une transition
radiative entre niveaux nucléaires plutôt qu'électroniques. Ce type d'horloge offre des …

Recently, improved limits on the electron electric dipole moment, and dimensionless
constant, kT, P, characterizing the strength of the T, P-odd pseudoscalar–scalar electron …

An experiment to search for the electron electric dipole moment (eEDM) on the metastable H
3 Δ 1 state of ThO molecule was proposed and now prepared by the ACME Collaboration …

Hyperfine structures of highly charged ions (HCIs) are favourable spectroscopic targets for
exploring fundamental physics along with nuclear properties. Recent proposals of HCI …

A method is proposed to determine the M 1 nuclear transition amplitude and hence the
lifetime of the “nuclear clock transition” between the low-lying (∼ 8 eV) first isomeric state …
