The Possibility of the Triggered De-Excitation of the 110mAg Isomer in Laser Plasma

Аннотация

The ^110mAg isomer is examined as a new object for studying the triggered de-excitation of nuclear isomers in pulsed laser plasma. The main advantages of ^110mAg are the low energy (1128 eV) of its transition to the trigger level (leading to the de-excitation of ^110mAg), which is comparable to the electron temperature of plasma, and the long lifetime of the trigger level (36 ns), which allows one to separate plasma interferences in detecting of ^110mAg de-excitation.
