Abstract

The second GeV bremsstrahlung photon beamline has been constructed for meson photo-production experiments at Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University, where a 1200 MeV electron synchrotron called STretcher Booster (STB) has been in operation primarily for Quark Nuclear Physics. An internal radiator is employed to produce the bremsstrahlung photon beam out of circulating electrons in the STB ring. A photon tagging system is placed inside one of the bending magnets of the ring. The tagged energy of the photon beam ranges from 740 to 1150 MeV for 1200 MeV operation of the STB synchrotron. The details of the tagging system and the characteristics of the photon beam are described.
