We investigate the evolution of nuclear excitation in electron-nucleus (e+A) collisions at the upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) using the BeAGLE event generator. Leveraging the EIC's unique collider kinematics, we demonstrate the…

We report calculations of energy levels, radiative rates, oscillator strengths and line strengths for transitions among the lowest 345 levels of Ti X. These include 146 levels of the $n \le$ 3 configurations and 86 of 3s$^2 4\ell$, 3s$^2…

While the $^{229}$Th nuclear isomer has recently been observed and laser-excited, converting optical nuclear manipulation into a chip-scale solid-state frequency standard remains an open challenge. Here, we present a nanophotonic platform…

The atomic states of the W IX (W8+) tungsten ion lying below the W9+ ionisation threshold have been studied theoretically, employing the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method with configuration interaction. The level electronic…

In the paper, a unique process of the decay of the $^{229m}$Th($3/2^+,8.28\pm 0.17$ eV) low energy nuclear isomer via the internal conversion (IC) channel on Rydberg states is considered for the first time. The Rydberg atom…

We investigated the specific electronic energy deposition by protons and He ions with keV energies in different transition metal nitrides of technological interest. Data were obtained from two different time-of-flight ion scattering setups…

Nuclei located in the neutron-deficient Pb region have a complex structure, rapidly evolving as a function of neutron and proton numbers. The most famous example is $^{186}$Pb where the three lowest levels are $0^+$ states, the two excited…

We report a series of measurements of the effect of an electric field on the frequency of the ultranarrow linewidth $^7F_0 \rightarrow$ $^5D_0$ optical transition of $\rm Eu^{3+}$ ions in an $\rm Y_2SiO_5$ matrix at cryogenic temperatures.…

Today's most accurate clocks are based on laser spectroscopy of electronic transitions in single trapped ions and feature fractional frequency uncertainties below $1\times10^{-18}$. Scaling these systems to multiple, simultaneously…

The energy levels and transition rates of promising laser-cooling candidate thorium anion Th^- have been experimentally obtained in the current work. Three new excited states between the bound-bound electric dipole (E1) transition of Th^-…

Atomic electrons are sensitive to the properties of the nucleus they are bound to, such as nuclear mass, charge distribution, spin, magnetization distribution, or even excited level scheme. These nuclear parameters are reflected in the…

Engineering large-scale quantum computers which simultaneously provide high-fidelity quantum operations, low memory errors, low crosstalk, and reasonable resource usage remains an outstanding challenge across quantum computing platforms. In…

State-of-the-art optical clocks achieve fractional precisions of $10^{-18}$ and below using ensembles of atoms in optical lattices or individual ions in radio-frequency traps. Promising candidates for novel clocks are highly charged ions…

We performed accurate calculation of $\alpha$-dependence ($\alpha=e^2/hc$) of the transition frequencies for ions, which are used in a search for the variation of the fine structure constant $\alpha$ in space-time. We use Dirac-Hartree-Fock…

The resonant process of nuclear excitation by electron transition (NEET) in highly charged ions is investigated. In NEET, a bound electronic decay transition occurs with the simultaneous excitation of the nucleus, provided that the energies…

Numerous accidental near-degeneracies exist between the $2\nu_2$ and $\nu_4$ rotation-vibration energy levels of ammonia. Transitions between these two states possess significantly enhanced sensitivity to a possible variation of the…

Building on recent advances of the embedded cluster approach combined with multiconfigurational theory, this work investigates the electronic states in thorium-doped CaF2 crystals. Th:CaF2 is currently establishing as a promising material…

Nuclear level density at low excitation energies is proposed as an indicator of the first order phase transitions in nuclei. The new signature, a maximum value of the level density at the critical point, appears to be sensitive to the…

The Thorium-229 isotope features a nuclear isomer state with an extremely low energy. The currently most accepted energy value, 7.8 +- 0.5 eV, was obtained from an indirect measurement using a NASA x-ray microcalorimeter with an…
