Quantum theory of isomeric excitation of ^{229}Th in strong laser fields
A general quantum mechanical theory is developed for the isomeric excitation of ^{229}Th in strong femtosecond laser pulses. The theory describes the tripartite interaction between the nucleus, the atomic electrons, and the laser field. The nucleus can be excited both by the laser field and by laser...
