Abstract

We have performed synchrotron based nuclear resonant scattering experiments with the 26.3keV resonance of Hg201. The precise energy of this 0.9ns lifetime resonance was found to be 26.2738(3)keV. Construction of an optical system with milli-electron-volt resolution allowed measurement of dynamics in liquid mercury, liq-Hg, and Hg atom specific dynamics in αHgS (cinnabar). This work extends nuclear inelastic scattering experiments into the regime of subnanosecond lifetime resonances.
