Dear Colleagues, this is, on one hand, a test message that is, on the other hand, also notifying you that MIX has recently moved to a new list server. For old subscribes, practically nothing has changed; you may submit your contribution to the same address as before, i.e., mix AT lists.kfki.hu and also you will receive MIX posts the usual way. However, from now on you may manage your subscriptions (subscribe, unsubscribe, setting preferences) at

25 YEARS OF LACAME Over the past weeks we are happily celebrating the 25th anniversary of our existence as the Latin American Community of Mössbauer spectroscopy. Back in 1988, with the exception of Brazil, where local Mössbauer meetings had been held biennially since 1982, across our continent at that time there were a few researchers, without much funds and with great difficulties, attempting to carry out good science in some sparse laboratories. This would change for ever when in Rio de Janeiro, from 31 October to 4 November 1988, the first Latin American Conference on the Applications of the Mössbauer Effect was held. At that meeting we would know each other and soon identify ourselves as forming part of a broader Latin American Mössbauer community.

Dear all, it is my pleasure to announce two open post-doc positions for Nuclear Resonance applications at the ESRF. I would encourage you to visit the following WEB-pages for more details: http://esrf.profilsearch.com/recrute/intranet/fo_annonce_voir.php?id=143 http://esrf.profilsearch.com/recrute/intranet/fo_annonce_voir.php?id=144 Best regards Rudolf Rueffer. -- -————————————————————————— Rudolf R�ffer tel: (+33) 4 7688 2100 ESRF tel: (+33) 4 7688 2619/2027 (secretary) BP 220 fax: (+33) 4 7688 2160 F-38043 Grenoble Cedex e-mail: rueffer AT esrf.fr http://www.esrf.fr/UsersAndScience/Experiments/DynExtrCond/ID18 -—————————————————————————

Dear all, I would like to remind you of the proposal deadline for experiments at PETRA III which (officially) is today. There is an internal (inofficial) agreement that the server won’t be closed before tomorrow evening. The actual number of proposals is rather low (without saying too much: it’s only one digit). So I would like to encourage you to (re)sent a proposal even if you were not lucky to get beamtime in the past.

Dear Colleagues, in a paper published in Nature today, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v482/n7384/full/nature10741.html#/references Ralf Röhlsberger, Hans-Christian Wille, Kai Schlage and Balaram Sahoo report on the first observation of an electromagnetically induced transparency with resonant nuclei in a cavity. In an experiment performed on a thin-film cavity, The authors have demonstrated that the radiative coupling of the nuclear ensembles by the cavity field establishes the atomic coherence necessary for the cancellation of resonant absorption.

February Historical Event in Mössbauer Spectroscopy Leopold May February 1, 1960 On this date, the paper on the Mössbauer Effect of 197Au (D. Nagle, P. P. Craig, J. G. Dash, R.D. Reiswig, Phys. Rev. Lett.1960, 4, 237 [60N01]) was received.
