This project focuses on developing a nuclear clock based on Thorium-229, which has unique properties allowing for precise laser manipulation. The goal is to create three prototype clocks that can test fundamental physics and benchmark against existing optical clocks.
Th-229 has an exceptionally low-energy excited nuclear isomer state with an excitation energy of only a few electron volts, making it accessible to laser manipulation.
With a predicted relative radiative linewidth of 1e-19, constructing a Thorium nuclear clock becomes possible that could rival todays most advanced optical atomic clocks.The few-eV transition emerges from a fortunate near-degeneracy of the two lowest nuclear energy levels.
However, the Coulomb and strong-force contributions to the…
