Abstract
We have performed synchrotron based nuclear resonant scattering experiments with the resonance of . The precise energy of this lifetime resonance was found to be . 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 (cinnabar). This work extends nuclear inelastic scattering experiments into the regime of subnanosecond lifetime resonances.
