Search for Low Energy Triggered Gamma Emission from 178Hfm2 Using Monochromatic Radiation at SPring-8
Abstract
Isomers such as 178Hfm2 have been proposed as potential compact energy sources, but this potential relies on finding a means of controlling, or triggering, a release of the stored energy. Apart from practical considerations, mechanisms of triggering might provide important information about nuclear structure. This poster discusses a recent experimental test of triggering for 178Hfm2 using monochromatic radiation at SPring-8.
