Abstract
In nuclear forward scattering (NFS) of synchrotron radiation, inter-resonance interference leads to a quantum beat (QB), and intra-resonance interference to a dynamical beat (DB). In general both interference processes determine the time evolution of NFS. Only in the case of far distant resonances the resulting interference pattern can be interpreted as a well distinguishable combination of QB and DB. Multiple scattering by near neighbouring resonances, by contrast, leads to a hybridisation of QB and DB. In particular, asymmetrical continuous distributions of resonances make QB and DB blend into a fast hybrid beat with thickness dependent period and distribution sensitive modulation.
