December Historical Event in Mössbauer Spectroscopy
Leopold May

December 11, 1961       Fifty years ago on this date, R. L. Mössbauer was 
awarded the Nobel Prize in    Physics "for his researches concerning the 
resonance    absorption of gamma     radiation and his discovery in this 
connection of the effect which bears his name"      and shared it with Robert 
Hofstadter who received it "for his pioneering studies of     electron 
scattering in atomic nuclei and for his thereby achieved discoveries   
concerning the structure of the nucleons".
