Description

Observation of a hidden nuclear population inversion, as a precursive experimental proof of the concept of recoil-assisted gamma-ray lasing, can be accomplished by pure optical methods due to spectral shift of atomic transitions. This paper presents numerical estimates and a proposal for such a proof-of-principle experiment.
