A review is given of the various aspects of gamma resonance scattering in crystals. The capture of slow neutrons by atoms in a crystal lattice, the applications of the Lamb theory in gamma resonance scattering, the application of temperature variations in the source, mechanical motion of the source in relation to the absorber in resonance absorption, and hyperfine splitting and polarization in experiments with resonance scattering are studied. The effects of resonance absorption in solids, the verification of the general theory of relativity, and the limitations of the gamma -ray resonance absorption method are discussed.
