Energy of the $^{229}$Th nuclear clock transition — mentioned by twic

I found a paper which measured the energy of the transition [0], but it doesn't talk about why it's so low. Might be a starting point if you have more time to read than i do, though! EDIT Hmm [1]: > Interestingly, the existence of a nuclear excited state of such low energy seems to be a coincidence and there is currently no conclusive theoretical calculation that allows to predict nuclear levels to this precision. And there is a paper with a ton of detail and some nice diagrams of energy levels [2], but i'm not sure it really gets at "why". [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.06308 [1]…

That's a 2017 paper. This one looks more like it: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.06308
