We report the identification of metastable isomeric states ofAc at 6.28 keV, 6.67 keV and 20.19 keV, with lifetimes of an order of 100 ns. These states are produced by the-decay ofRa, a component of theTh decay chain, withQ-values of 39.52 keV, 39.13 keV and 25.61 keV, respectively. Due to the low Q-value ofRa as well as the relative abundance ofTh and their progeny in low background experiments, these observations potentially impact the low-energy background modeling of dark matter search experiments.
