Nuclear structure considerations for gamma-ray lasers
Abstract
Initial results are presented in the investigation of the nuclear physics issues of gamma-ray lasers. These include the questions of what is known from existing experimental data, where does one optimally search for nuclei displaying simultaneously both closely lying levels and nuclear isomerism, and which theoretical models does one employ for systematic searches for candidate nuclei and for calculation of detailed candidate level properties. These three questions are addressed in the present paper.
