Abstract

Nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments using unpolarised as well as off-axis linearly polarised bremsstrahlung represent an outstanding tool to determine in a completely model independent way transition probabilities, multipole orders and parities of electromagnetic transitions to bound states in nuclei. A new polarised bremsstrahlung facility has been constructed at the 15 MeV linac in Gent. The experimental arrangement is discussed and first results are presented.

    A new sensitivity and quality of photon scattering data could be obtained in this way. This was further improved by the advent of dedicated high-current electron linear accelerators with high duty cycles to produce bremsstrahlung photons and the use of Ge semiconductor detectors with excellent energy resolution for the detection of the scattered photons, see, e.g., Refs. [22–24]. Numerous photonuclear experiments were performed at the high-current cw electron beams of the Stuttgart Dynamitron [25] and the superconducting electron linear accelerator (“S-DALINAC”) at the Technische Universität Darmstadt [26].
