Resonance Internal Conversion as a Way of Accelerating Nuclear Processes F.F.Karpeshin Theory of resonance conversion is presented. Being a natural
extension of the traditional internal conversion into the subthreshold area,
resonance conversion in a number of cases strongly affects the nuclear
processes. Moreover, concentrating the transition strength on the narrow
bands corresponding to the spectral atomic lines, it offers a unique tool
capable of accelerating nuclear decay rates. Furthermore, along with
the conventional nonradiative process of nuclear excitation through NEET and
its reverse, TEEN, resonance conversion offers an appropriate
mathematics for consideration of a number of cross-invariant processes
involving both nuclei and electrons: excitation and deexcitation of the
nuclei by hyperfine magnetic field, nuclear spin mixing, hyperfine interaction
and magnetic anomalies in the atomic spectra, collisional nuclear excitation
via ionization of the shells in the muon decay in the orbit, etc.
The mechanisms of the optical pumping of the isomers are also considered,
as well as triggering their energy in the resonance field of a laser.
The effect is especially high in the hydrogen-like heavy ions due to
practical absence of any damping of the resonance. |
