Abstract
We discuss the effects of transverse coherence in time domain nuclear resonant scattering experiments using synchrotron radiation. The importance of source and detector sizes, as well as the Fresnel zone size of the sample are described. These effects are demonstrated in experiments using a rotating stainless-steel foil [1]. The emphasis of the text is to provide simple physical explanations while mathematical details are discussed in the appendix.
