The TORIO-229 experiment aims for a direct model-independent determination of the transition energy of Th-229m produced in U-233 alpha decay. This knowledge will be of interest for the development of a scientific clock exploiting the thorium isomeric state, which would be able to significantly surpass the precision of the presently best clocks....

The HOLMES experiment aims to directly measure the v mass studying the 163Ho electron capture decay spectrum, using arrays of TES-based micro-calorimeters implanted with O(102 Bq/detector) 163Ho atoms. The neutron irradiation of 162Er enriched samples, used for the production of 163Ho, also generates radioactive contaminants. Chemical processes...
