Description
We show how ultra-high-resolution (n, γ) spectroscopy can be used to study atomic collisions at kinetic energies in the order of hundreds of eV. The recoil originating from gamma emission after thermal neutron capture causes Doppler broadening of subsequent gamma transitions. The measurement of this Doppler broadening allows the study of the slowing-down process in the target time differentially with fs time resolution. As an example we investigated Ti recoiling in Ti and TiC
