Abstract
A time integral method for the study of resonant nuclear scattering of synchrotron radiation in the forward direction is presented. The method relies on the interference of radiation scattered by nuclei in two samples, one moving with respect to the other. The method, termed heterodyne detection of synchrotron radiation, gives the same information on hyperfine parameters as the well known differential method. The general formalism is developed for the case where the reference is a single line sample and the investigated sample has magnetic or quadrupole splitting. The first experiments are discussed. A comparison of time differential synchrotron radiation spectroscopy, heterodyne detection and Mössbauer spectroscopy is given.
