Abstract

   An experimental technique is considered to search for the stimulation of de-excitation of the nuclear isomer (SDENI) 186mRe (the half-life of the isomer T1 / 2 = 2 × 105 yr) in the plasma of a high-current Z-pinch. Based on the recently obtained results of the observation of the SDENI for 186mRe in a laser plasma, the possibility of observing the SDENI at the Angara-5-1 facility for 186mRe in a Z-pinch plasma with an electron temperature of about 1 keV is shown. The design of the liner – a set of metal wires with the 186mRe isomer, the electric explosion of which creates a Z-pinch, the method for introducing the 186mRe isomer into the liner, and the method for detecting the SDENI for 186mRe in the Z-pinch plasma are discussed.
