Recently, the 229Th isomer attracts attention, as a possible optical frequency standard. The detailed knowledge concerning the fine and hyperfine structures of the thorium isomer should help in searching for the transition suitable for detecting of the clock isomer resonance.
It stimulates our extensive work on the fine structure of 232Th and the hyperfine structure of 229Th. In our multi-configuration, semiempirical calculations, based on the experimental data, we determine the even and odd parity level scheme of Th ion, taking into account higher excited electron configurations. The predicted values of the hyperfine splittings of 229Th will be also presented.
