On previous and present investigations of resonance gamma-ray interaction with nuclei at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP, Moscow)

A brief survey of theoretical and experimental work that is devoted to studying the resonance absorption and scattering of gamma rays by nuclei and which was initiated at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP, Moscow) in the 1950s and has been continued to date is given. Investigations of various versions of interaction in beta decay, magnetic-field-perturbed angular distributions of resonantly scattered gamma rays, the problem of the Mössbauer gamma resonance of long-lived isomeric states of nuclei, and the resonance scattering of annihilation photons by nuclei are described.
