The range of possible radiative linewidths (upper scale) and half-lives (lower scale) of the isomeric state in the nucleus. Calculations are based on values for from Table I (calculated from 1; Ref. [1]: 2; Ref. [2]: 3; Ref. [3]: and 4; Ref. [4]) and, for completeness, Table II (5; Ref. [5]: and 6; Ref. [3]). The refractive index increases the probability of the transition by a factor of (third row). The Coriolis interaction can lead to a slight increase in the linewidth by a factor of 1.2–1.3 [6] (fourth row). Note the correction to the range in case number 6.
The ranges of possible conversion widths (the upper scale) and lifetimes (the lower scale) of the isomeric nuclear state in a neutral isolated Th atom. The designations are identical with the designations in Fig. 2. Note the correction to the range in case number 6 and the corrected axis for .
