Coherent Control of Nuclear Transition

本计画主要研究多阶相干驱动原子系统中的干涉现象。这项研究将涉及两个扩展的一个正在进行的项目在非线性光学，核物质和辐射的波长低于0.1纳米。主要的研究目标是发展一个严格的理论的相干控制的伽马射线穆斯堡尔跃迁，并作出了一系列开创性的实验，证明了强烈的影响，光学激光辐射的伽马射线穆斯堡尔跃迁。该计划的更广泛影响将是操纵核过程和伽马发射的能力。

This project focuses on interference phenomena in multilevel coherently driven atomic systems. The research will involve two extensions of an on-going project in non-linear optics, to nuclear matter and to wavelengths of the radiation to below 0.1nm. The main research objective involves the development of a rigorous theory of the coherent control of gamma ray Mossbauer transitions and also of making a series of pioneering experiments demonstrating the strong influence of optical laser radiation on gamma ray Mossbauer transitions. The broader impact of the program will be in the ability to manipulate nuclear processes and gamma emission.
