Abstract:
A bremsstrahlung tagging system was installed at the Mainz microtron facility and was successfully used for experiments. At a primary electron energy of 184 MeV photons from 14 to 144 MeV could simultaneously be tagged. The magnetic electron optics for the tagging spectrometer were chosen in such a way, that the linear polarization of an off-axis tagged photon beam was considerably enhanced. The setup is described and results of performance tests are discussed.
