NUSTAR Seminar

Abstract:

Action of an externally applied electromagnetic field on a nucleus can

be enhanced drastically via the resonance mechanism of bound internal

conversion. Theoretically predicted in 1979, the novel mechanism was

experimentally discovered in heavy ions in 2000. Ways of optical pumping

the nuclear isomers and release of their energy are discussed. Special

part is devoted to the role of the exclusion Pauli principle and its

experimental research.
