Abstract:
First Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF) experiments were
performed at the storage ring FEL-driven High Intensity
Gamma Soruce (HIGS) at the DFELL. Azimuthal NRF intensity
ratios were measured around the polarized HIGS beam.
Electric character was deduced for 18 dipole excitations in
138Ba. The measurements demonstrate the superior
performance of the HIGS facility in making such
measurements. We report here on the performance of this
set-up.
