Abstract

A comparative vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy study conducted at ISOLDE-CERN of the radiative decay of the $^{229m}$Th nuclear clock isomer embedded in different host materials is reported. The ratio of the number of radiative decay photons and the number of $^{229m}$Th embedded are determined for single crystalline CaF$_2$, MgF$_2$, LiSrAlF$_6$, AlN, and amorphous SiO$_2$. For the latter two materials, no radiative decay signal was observed and an upper limit of the ratio is reported. The radiative decay wavelength was determined in LiSrAlF$_6$ and CaF$_2$, reducing its uncertainty by a factor of 2.5 relative to our previous measurement. This value is in agreement with the recently reported improved values from laser excitation.

不同宿主材料中^{229m}$Th 核钟异构体的辐射衰变

报告了在 ISOLDE-CERN 进行的一项真空紫外光谱对比研究，研究了嵌入不同主材料的 $^{229m}$Th 核钟异构体的辐射衰变。研究测定了单晶 CaF$_2$、MgF$_2$、LiSrAlF$_6$、AlN 和无定形 SiO$_2$ 的辐射衰变光子数与嵌入的 $^{229m}$Th 数之比。对于后两种材料，没有观察到辐射衰变信号，因此报告了比率的上限。在 LiSrAlF$_6$ 和 CaF$_2$ 中测定了辐射衰变波长，与我们以前的测量结果相比，其不确定性降低了 2.5 倍。这个值与最近报告的激光激发的改进值一致。
