Study of -tin by SRPAC Results of measurements • Conclusion: • value of the life time of 23.9keV nuclear state of 119Sn was obtained with high precision • quadrupole splitting of -tin have been seen in the time spectrum and was measured for different temperatures HFI / NQI 2010, 12-17 September 2010 CERN

  22. Conclusion SR TDPAC – method which allows to extend study of hyperfine interactions by TDPAC on to Mössbauer isotopes – method which allows to extend study of hyperfine interactions by MS into the range of zero Lamb-Mössbauer factor. 3 main directions of application: Complementary to MS information about hyperfine splitting and dynamics Hyperfine interactions in high energy Mössbauer isotopes Study of hyperfine interactions and dynamics in soft condensed matter HFI / NQI 2010, 12-17 September 2010 CERN
