Our results show a narrowed energy level and, equivalently, a prolonged lifetime. With a 0.5-mm-thick, 5-cm-long, 2-mm-diameter platinum cylinder, we obtain a width narrower by $6.1 % $ at $4.2 \: K$.Nuclear TheoryNuclear ExperimentEffects of the $γ-$rays Scattered Backward by Metals on the Nuclear Energy Level Widthtext
