Abstract

••Tagged photons in the energy range 10–180 MeV with an energy resolution of 300 keV are available.••Coherent bremsstrahlung is used to produce linearly polarized photons in the energy range below 70 MeV.••Several diagnostic tools are used to monitor the data taking.••The research program includes Compton scattering on deuterium and light nuclei.••Also included are (γ,p)(γ,p), (γ,π)(γ,π), (γ,total)(γ,total) cross-section measurements on nucleons and nuclei.

A description is given of the upgraded photon tagging facility at the MAX IV Laboratory. Two magnetic spectrometers are used to momentum analyze post-bremsstrahlung electrons. The tagged photon range extends from 10 to 180 MeV with an energy resolution of about 300 keV. The system has been operated at rates up to 4×106 photons s-1 MeV −1. Different diagnostic tools are described as well as the experimental program.
