Description

Elastic photon scattering investigated at energies of 2.5-3.5 MeV using radioactive sources has revealed a large probability for observing photoexcitation of nuclear levels. This finding removes inconsistencies in previously investigated properties of Delbrueck scattering and provides a new access to nuclear resonance fluorescence. (orig.)
