Table 1. Sapphire backscattering reflections that match the nuclear transition energy in 121Sb and 125Te.

All reflections with spectral efficiency above 50% are shown. For each reflection the expected crystal temperature T, energy bandwidth ΔE, spectral efficiency R, extinction length d ext and angle ϕ between the diffraction vector of the chosen reflection and (0 0 0 1) are shown. The calculations were performed using the dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction with the sapphire crystal data (Shvyd’ko, 2004) in the thick crystal approximation.
