Direct measurement of the spread of the photon energy

Reference no: EM13539891

In special conditions, it is possible to measure the energy of a gamma-ray photon to 1 part in 10^15. For a photon energy of of 50 keV, estimate the maximum lifetime that could be determined by a direct measurement of the spread of the photon energy.
