Shape and electromagnetic properties of the 229mTh isomer

We examine the physical conditions, and specifically the role of the quadrupole-octupole deformation, for the emergence of the 8 eV “clock” isomer 229mTh. Our nuclear structure model suggests that such an extremely low-energy state can be the result of a very fine interplay between the shape and sin...
