Outline of Final Research Achievements

We searched for eV-order meta-stable isomeric excited state of Th-229, which is extraordinally low-lying for ordinary nuclei. We developed the new scheme using nuclear resonant scattering with high intense synchrotron radiation X-ray source, fast X-ray detection system, high performance targetry, and X-ray focusing system. We have successfully observed the precise signal from nuclear resonant scattering of nuclei with half life below 1 ns.
