Abstract

In this work, the energy shift of X-ray photons at two-photon transition, depending on conversion (either at transition between the second and first excited states or at transition from the first to the ground level), is studied. It is possible to very precisely determine the energy shift of an X-ray photon (on the order of 1 eV) by registering the X-ray photon in coincidence with an X-ray photon of another transition with high resolution detectors; this allows one to determine the change of the mean square radius of the nucleus in the excited state.
