Abstract A time-of-flight facility is constructed to investigate photoneutrons in the energy range 5 MeV ≤ En ≤ 200 MeV. Photoneutrons are detected simultaneously at four angles (40.2°, 90°, 113.5°, 142.2°). The overall time resolution varies from 0.282 ns/m to 0.358 ns/m, depending on the different flight paths (18.56 m to 11.40 m). As a first check the facility is used to measure the ratio of the number of virtual photons to real photons via the photodisintegration of 2H. The measured values agree with the calculated photon spectra.
