After an opaque resonant absorber of stainless steel was driven into vibration with a frequency/ = 23.79 MHz, it began to emit resonant γ rays with energies Eo ± 2πηϋ/(Ε0 is the energy of the incident radiation, and η = 1,2,...) in the primary direction. The intensity of this secondary emission reached 37.8% of the incident intensity, providing direct evidence of an intensification of the radiative mechanism in the scattering reaction studied.
