The Possibility of the Triggered De-Excitation of the 110mAg Isomer in Laser Plasma
The 110mAg isomer is examined as a new object for studying the triggered de-excitation of nuclear isomers in pulsed laser plasma. The main advantages of 110mAg are the low energy (1128 eV) of its transition to the trigger level (leading to the de-excitation of 110mAg), which is comparable to the electron temperature of plasma, and the long lifetime of the trigger level (36 ns), which allows one to separate plasma interferences in detecting of 110mAg de-excitation.
