Abstract
High-resolution monochromators for various nuclei have been developed at the nuclear resonant scattering beamline at SPring-8. In particular, monochromators for 57Fe are prepared with three different resolutions. The focusing optics of a Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror and compound refractive lenses have been installed in recent years. The available X-ray beam properties of the energy resolution and beam size at the transition energies of Mössbauer nuclei are summarized in this report.
