Nonlinear effects with Mössbauer nuclei — •Kilian P. Heeg, Christoph H. Keitel, and Jörg Evers — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany

Probing Mössbauer nuclei in a cavity environment has recently facilitated the observation of many quantum optical effects in the hard x-ray regime [1-5]. However, due to the limitations of current 3rd generation synchrotron sources only the weak excitation regime could be accessed so far. In contrast, free electron laser sources enable the step to nonlinear quantum optics with Mössbauer nuclei. Based on our recent theoretical model [6] we explore this new parameter regime and give an overview of the arising effects and possible applications.
