Abstract

By placing a 133Cs{}^{133}Cs γ\gamma-ray source embedded in a solid at the center of a platinum (gold) cylinder, we try to change the width of the 81-keV level. Our results show a narrowed energy level and, equivalently, a prolonged lifetime. With a 0.5-mm-thick, 5-cm-long, 2-mm-diameter platinum cylinder, we obtain a width narrower by 6.16.1 % at 4.2K4.2 \: K.
