A new scheme for isomer pumping and depletion with high-power lasers
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We propose a novel scheme for the population and depletion of nuclear
isomers. The scheme combines the γ-photons with energies ≳ 10
keV emitted during the interaction of a contemporary high-intensity laser pulse
with a plasma and one or multiple photon beams supplied by intense lasers. Due
to nonlinear effects, two- or multi-photon absorption dominates over the
conventional multi-step one-photon process for an optimized gamma flash.
Moreover, this nonlinear effect can be greatly enhanced with the help of
externally supplied photons. These photons act such that the effective
cross-section experienced by the γ-photons becomes tunable, growing with
the intensity I_0 of the beam. Assuming I_0∼ 10^18 Wcm^-2 for
the photon beam, an effective cross-section as large as 10^-21 cm^2 to
10^-28 cm^2 for the γ-photon can be achieved. Thus, within
state-of-the-art 10 PW laser facilities, the yields from two-photon absorption
can reach 10^6 to 10^9 isomers per shot for selected states that are
separated from their ground state by E2 transitions. Similar yields for
transitions with higher multipolarities can be accommodated by multi-photon
absorption with additional photons provided.
