Electromagnetic transitions within nuclei reflect specific aspects of nuclear structure. This is particularly true for metastable excited states, or isomers, like 178Hfm2 (T1/2=31 years, excitation energy 2446 keV). The interaction of external radiation with isomers can be used to study atomic and nuclear properties and, perhaps, to induce a releas...
Over the past six years, a number of reports have been made claiming experimental demonstrations that externally-produced photons near 10 keV could trigger a depopulation (with concurrent gamma emission and energy release) from the 31-year isomer ^178m2Hf. The most compelling of these claims resulted from studies performed at synchrotrons, most not...

... It will be interesting to repeat the photo-excitation experiment with a high-brilliance LCB γ beam. Other de-excitation studies addressed the 31-year J π ; K = 16 + ; 16 isomer in 178 Hf [37][38][39]. The results are contoversial, since the latter two experiments [38,39] do not confirm the claim of the first experiment that the resonant absorption of an X-ray photon with the energy of the order of 40 keV can induce the prompt release of the 2.446 MeV stored by the isomer [37]. ...
