Coherent Bremsstrahlung
Beamline Overview Top View 75 m Tagger Area Experimental Hall D Electron beam / dump Coherent Bremsstrahlung photon beam Solenoid- Based detector Collimator Photon Beam dump Counting House Radiator Pair Spectrometer Collimator Cave Tagging Spectrometer Beam contains both coherent and incoherent components. Only the coherent component is polarized. Collimation suppresses incoherent part. no collimator with collimator intensity (/GeV) APS/DNP meeting, Newport Beach, Oct , 2012 Eg (GeV)
