description

Abstract A photon tagging facility has been constructed for use with the c.w. electron beam at the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory (SAL). The facility consists of a “clam-shell” type magnetic spectrometer with a 62 channel plastic scintillator focal plane detector allowing a post-bremsstrahlung electron energy resolution of 1%. Specialized focal plane and coincidence electronics have been designed and constructed at SAL and allows experiments to be performed with average tagged photon rates of greater than 1 × 108/s.
