The low-lying isomeric state ofprovides unique opportunities for high-resolution laser spectroscopy of the atomic nucleus. We determine the energy of this isomeric state by taking the absolute energy difference between the excitation energy required to populate the 29.2-keV state from the ground state and the energy emitted in its decay to the isomeric excited state. A transition-edge sensor microcalorimeter was used to measure the absolute energy of the 29.2-keVray. Together with the cross-band transition energy () and the branching ratio of the 29.2-keV state measured in a recent study, the isomer energy was determined to be. Our result is in agreement with the latest measurements based on different experimental techniques, which further confirms that the isomeric state ofis in the laser-accessible vacuum ultraviolet range.
