Abstract

Transmission of polarized electromagnetic radiation in matter often gives additional information on the interactions between the radiation and the matter as compared with the use of nonpolarized radiation. In the presence of nuclear resonance absorption, a general theoretical treatment is given for calculating the transmitted intensity and polarization of gamma radiation. The incident beam decomposes into two components, which are attenuated differently. An application shows that in order to obtain accurate results from nuclear resonance absorption measurements with polarized gamma rays it is necessary to include this effect in the analysis of the data.
