Ядерные часы на основе тория-229. Ч. 2. Перспективы стандарта частоты
Abstract
The article presents the project of Th-229m nuclear clock. The experiments searching for a radiative decay and the detection of the isomer of thorium-229m, as well as indirect experiments to determine the energy of the isomer are described. Potentially promising research methods and experiments for detection of the isomer of thorium-229m are offered. The prospects for frequency standard based on thorium-229m are presented. Other elements for nuclear clock are proposed.
