Radioluminescence and photoluminescence of Th:CaF(2) crystals

We study thorium-doped CaF(2) crystals as a possible platform for optical spectroscopy of the (229)Th nuclear isomer transition. We anticipate two major sources of background signal that might cover the nuclear spectroscopy signal: VUV-photoluminescence, caused by the probe light, and radioluminesce...
