This project focuses on developing a novel nuclear clock using thorium-229, which has unique properties for precision time measurement. It aims to explore fundamental physics and the potential for new insights into dark matter.
Among the more than 3000 nuclides that are naturally occurring or that have been artificially synthesized, thorium-229 is truly exceptional.
Its remarkably low excitation energy makes it the ideal candidate for nuclear frequency metrology, surpassing current atomic clocks.
Such a ""nuclear clock"" opens doors to fundamental physics, testing time-variations of constants and exploring the enigma of dark matter.
Within HITHOR a conceptually novel methodology towards such a clock is proposed, eventu…
