Abstract

The central problem in making a gamma ray laser is the identification of a proper material from a slate of twenty-nine candidates. The ultimate success of pump schemes involving flash x rays will require investigation, through use of the technique of modulated nuclear radiation (MNR) that we recently introduced, of the nuclear properties of those materials that are analogous to the kinetics of a conventional laser medium. This methodology is the nuclear analog of the optical doubleresonance studies which yielded much of the laser-grade data base on which rest the newer visible and UV lasers. A data base of comparable quality for nuclear kinetics will be required for the screening of the twenty-nine candidates, and this will require a great amount of input radiation into implementations of the MNB process.
