quantum mechanics - Can we excite a nucleus by means of very intense low energy gamma-photon irradiation?


The phenomenon of multi-photon ionization of atoms has been studied, both theoretically and experimentally, for several decades. Intense laser beam devices are the apparatuses used for the experimental study of this phenomenon.


QUESTION:


Would it be possible to use similar excitation processes with nuclei, using "low energy" $\gamma$-photons in order to manufacture nuclear isomers for industrial and medical applications?
