Problems of the Gamma Ray Laser.
Abstract
This report is addressed to the problem of the state-of-the-art of gamma ray laser development. It is intended to identify the various disciplines and specific research areas which can best contribute to resolving the question of 'graser' feasibility. Topics discussed include the following: The basic mechanisms of laser action; Gamma ray emission from nuclear isomers; The resonance cross section; Nonresonant absorption; Photon kinetics; Inhomogeneous line breadths; Problems of pumping.
