Abstract

Inelastic scattering of x rays by gaseous, liquid, and solid samples was measured using a nuclear transition as a reference for the energy analysis of the scattered radiation. The samples were irradiated by a beam of synchrotron radiation with a bandwidth of 6.4 meV. The scattered radiation was analyzed using a resonance detector with a bandpass of 0.5 μeV. These studies introduce a new technique to measure the energy distribution of inelastic x-ray scattering.
