Abstract

Experiments on the search for the effect of resonant screening on the Mössbauer absorption of 119mSn γ rays of energy 23.8 keV emitted by a standard Mössbauer Ca119mSnO3 γ source in the resonant SnO2 absorber of natural isotopic composition are described. Intensities of tin γ rays and X-rays that passed through the absorber were measured with and without a resonant cylindrical screen (which was a black absorber for the 23.8-keV Mössbauer γ line) around the absorber and their ratios were calculated for each radiation separately. No difference beyond the experimental error was found between these ratios measured with the γ source both at rest and when oscillating with a frequency and amplitude enough to completely break the conditions for Mössbauer resonant absorption of 23.8-keV γ rays. The upper limit for the relative decrease, due to the influence of the resonant screen, in the intensities of these γ rays after their passing through the resonant absorber was 0.00030.
