Resumo

A strongly speeded-up decay of a collective nuclear excitation has been observed in pure nuclear resonance diffraction of synchrotron-radiation pulses by a perfect single crystal of antiferromagnetic $^{57}\mathrm{FeBo}_{3}$. Superimposed appeared a quantum-beat spectrum exhibiting the interference of four hyperfine transitions. The angular dependence of the time spectrum was verified with measurements above, below, and at the exact Bragg position. The off-Bragg measurements reveal sensitively the weak quadrupole interaction in $^{57}\mathrm{FeBO}_{3}$. .AE
