Description
The interaction of intense laser pulses with atomic nuclei leads to a
number of directly and indirectly driven nuclear processes. We address
the direct laser-nucleus coupling, considering the advent of new
generation coherent light sources, and the de-excitation of isomeric
nuclear levels triggered by photon absorption or electron capture. The
prospects for experimental realization of these phenomena by upcoming
intense high-frequency radiation sources are discussed.
