Control of spectroscopic line shapes at hard x-ray energies is demonstrated in the reflectance of a thin film cavity with embedded Moessbauer nuclei. Tunable Fano interference between a spectrally broad cavity response and a narrow bound state nuclear contribution enables us to switch between Lorentz- and Fano-profiles [1, 2]. Spectroscopic signatures such as the cooperative Lamb shift and superradiant line broadening are extracted from the recorded asymmetric line shapes with high precision and agree excellently with our theoretical model [3]. Our results advance spectroscopy and precision metrology in the hard x-ray domain, and provide access to a multitude of applications linked to Fano interference.
