Excitation and probing of low-energy nuclear states at high-energy storage rings

^{229}Th with a low-lying nuclear isomeric state is an essential candidate for a nuclear clock as well as many other applications. Laser excitation of the isomeric state has been a long-standing goal. With relativistic ^{229}Th ions in storage rings, high-power lasers with wavelengths in the visible...
