Nuclear Excitation Via The Motion of Electrons in a Strong Laser Field.
Abstract
A method of switching from a nuclear isomeric state to a lasing state is examined. A semi-classical model of laser-electron-nuclear coupling is developed. In it the electrons are treated as free in the external field of the laser, but with initial conditions corresponding to their atomic orbits. Application is made to testing this model in U235 and to the design criteria of a gamma ray laser.
