Session 3: ESR Presentation WP2- Novel techniques and technologies for actinide research
- Klaus Wendt
As humans, we are a mélange of diverse chemical elements: a fragile composition of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and others that hang in an improbable but finely tuned balance. Once this balance is disturbed, either due to a deficiency or excess of certain elements, it can lead to pathologies that have been linked to a variety of severe diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s...
Studies of the atomic spectrum through resonant laser excitation provide access to the nuclear structures. Precise measurements of the interactions of the nuclear ground state with the electronic shell permit the extraction of nuclear properties which are closely related to the nucleus’ configuration and shape [1]. With atomic transitions of the valence electrons in the range of a few eV,...
