Amplification of Gamma Radiation from X-Ray Excited Nuclear States

الأصل · EN

In this paper we discuss the possibility of the excitation of nuclear electromagnetic transitions by the absorption of X-ray quanta produced in appropriate inner-shell atomic transitions, and the relevance of this process for the amplification of the gamma radiation from the excited nuclear states. It is concluded that the X-ray pumping technique might provide a useful approach for the development of a gamma ray laser.
