The mixing ratios for M1 and E2 radiation for transitions in 11B have been determined by measuring the azimuthal asymmetry of the radiation emitted from levels populated by resonant absorption of polarized photons. The photon-scattering experiments were carried out at the FreeElectron Laser Laboratory at Duke University using nearly monoenergetic and linearly polarized photon beams. The mixing ratios were deduced from a comparison of the measured azimuthal asymmetries with calculations for the angular distribution of mixed transitions.
