Article Synopsis
- * The new mass data, with a precision around 1 keV/c², supports the robustness of the N=50 neutron shell closure and enables comparisons with advanced theoretical models for understanding nuclear properties.
- * The study also highlights the challenges faced by theoretical approaches, like ab initio calculations and density functional theory, in accurately predicting ground-state properties in the silver isotopic chain near the proton dripline.
The radionuclide thorium-229 features an isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy that enables direct laser manipulation of nuclear states. It constitutes one of the leading candidates for use in next-generation optical clocks. This nuclear clock will be a unique tool for precise tests of fundamental physics.
