Periodic Reporting for period 1 - RaDTho (Radiative Decay Study of the low-lying thorium-229 isomer)

The radionuclide thorium-229 features an extremely low exciation siomer with an energy of around 8 eV. This unique low-lying isomer features an expected radiative lifetime as high as 10000 s. This results in a a very narrow linewidth of this transition. The possibility of a...
