1 Conclusion This small book presents a description of the results of studies performed over many years by our research group, which, in the best period, included 15 physicists and laboratory assistants and technicians, but which now diminished to five scientists without any subsidiary personnel. Nonetheless, we were able to create experimental devices, even in the last, especially hard, years, relying on our own efforts exclusively, and to obtain unique results by using this equipment. Here, I would like to remind briefly the main that we have done and which I have described in this book. First, this is, of course, a series of studies devoted to exploring magnetic-field-perturbed angular distributions of resonantly scattered gamma rays. We were able to prove experimentally the correctness of the theoretical predictions according to which the result of such a perturbation depends on the shape of the spectrum of scattered gamma rays and explained this effect by the dependence of the mean lifetime of the participant nucleus in an excited state on this shape. A detailed analysis of this situation led to the conclusion that nuclear processes of gamma-ray emission and absorption are of a protracted character. This point of view, albeit possibly in a less explicit form, existed earlier (see the argument of Dr. E.B. Bogomol nyi above in explaining the difference between the excitation of nuclei by gamma rays of narrow and wide spectrum), but it turned out to be quite unexpected for the overwhelming majority of physicists (and not only experimenters) with whom I discussed this problem. The results of our experiments devoted to the gamma-resonant excitation of long-lived isomeric states of nuclei proved to be even more important. Until recently, the common point of view was (has been to date for many) that the minimum gamma-line width accessible to measurement is about to ev. Even in diamagnetic substances, the widths of narrower gamma lines should increase up to such values because of the dipole-dipole interaction of nuclear magnetic moments with the magnetic moments of neighboring nuclei and conduction electrons. Paradoxically as it might seem, our experiments with the 109m Ag isomer showed that there is no such broadening. Because one can hardly believe that quantum electrodynamics, which is a highly reliable theory, could lead to an incorrect result in this case, it only remains to think that some as-yet-unknown special features of nuclear radiative processes are responsible for this. An attempt at explaining this situation by a possible averaging of dipole-dipole interaction energy, Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 A.V.

2 188 Conclusion which changes quickly in magnitude and sign, over the mean lifetime of the excited state of the nucleus involved raised serious objections of theorists. The second hypothesis that we proposed was that the radiating nucleus and the gamma wave emitted by it are both insensitive to external effects as long as the radiative process lasts. In support of this hypothesis, we put forward the argument that, if this was not so, it would be impossible to observe gamma lines of natural width, but one sometimes observes them. Of course, a much more profound analysis is required for explaining this anomaly conclusively. It is also worth mentioning that our group designed and manufactured a gravitational gamma spectrometer, which is an instrument belonging to quite a new type and which is simple in underlying idea and in design and was made from improvised materials. By using this spectrometer, we were able to measure the shape of the gamma resonance in the long-lived 109m Ag isomer, thereby improving the resolving power of gamma spectrometry by about eight orders of magnitude in relation to that of Mössbauer spectrometers dealing with gamma rays of the 57 Fe nuclide. This result confirms fully earlier data demonstrating that the 109m Ag Mössbauer gamma line does not undergo a large broadening that could be caused by dipole-dipole interaction. Our observation of resonant annihilation-photon scattering on nuclei is the most important point in the remaining part of the book since this process permits developing a new method for studying Fermi surfaces of metals. The discovery of manifestations of binding energies of atomic electrons in the spectra of scattered gamma radiation is yet another important result. Last but not least, I gratefully acknowledge that some experiments with the 109m Ag isomer received support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and from INTAS.
