Calculations of the cross sections of inelastic electron scattering $(e,e')$ on a nucleus in the multi-keV energy range strongly depend on the description of the screening of the nuclear Coulomb potential as well as on the deformation of…

Inclusive electron scattering from nuclei at large x and $Q^2$ is the result of a reaction mechanism that includes both quasi--elastic scattering from nucleons and deep inelastic scattering from the quark constituents of the nucleons. Data…

We investigate the process of nuclear excitation via a two-photon electron transition (NETP) for the case of the doubly charged thorium. The theory of the NETP process has been devised originally for heavy helium-like ions. In this work, we…

We consider the excitation of the nuclear transition ^{229g}Th - ^{229m}Th near 7.6 eV in singly ionized thorium via an electronic bridge process. The process relies on the excitation of the electron shell by two laser photons whose sum…

When Th nuclei are doped in CaF$_2$ crystals, a set of electronic defect states appears in the crystal bandgap which would otherwise provide complete transparency to vacuum-ultraviolet radiation. The coupling of these defect states to the 8…

We investigate nuclear-resonant electron scattering as occurring in the two-step process of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC) followed by internal conversion. The nuclear excitation and decay are treated by a phenomenological…
