Progress toward direct frequency comb spectroscopy of 229mTh — •Lars von der Wense1, Chuankun Zhang2, John F. Doyle2, and Jun Ye2 — 1Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Garching, Germany — 2JILA, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA
Laser spectroscopy of the first excited nuclear state of 229Th poses a long-standing challenge. Several groups worldwide are aiming for this goal, since success promises the development of a first nuclear optical clock of highest accuracy [1]. In this talk I will present the most recent progress of the efforts at JILA in Boulder, where direct frequency comb spectroscopy of 229mTh is targeted [2]. For this purpose, a tunable VUV frequency comb has been developed [3] and new 229Th targets were produced. Also, planned investigations within the new NuQuant project at MPQ will be addressed.
