Abstract

An expression for the amplitude of a pulse of synchrotron radiation coherently scattered in the forward direction by a Mössbauer absorber consisting of randomly oriented paramagnetic iron‐containing molecules (for example, a frozen solution of a 57Fe protein) in an applied magnetic field is derived from the theory of γ optics. It is assumed that the hyperfine splittings present in the Mössbauer nuclei can be described in the framework of the spin‐Hamiltonian formalism. In the general case of a thick Mössbauer sample of this kind the response on an incident monochromatic and fully polarized beam cannot be given analytically because of the integrations involved. How nuclear forward‐scattering for this general case is evaluated in the program package called SYNFOS is outlined.
