Polarised bremsstrahlung nuclear-resonance fluorescence set-up at the 15~MeV linac in Gent.

Abstract Nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments using unpolarised as well as off-axis linearly polarised bremsstrahlung represent an outstanding tool to determine in a completely model independent way transition probabilities, multipole orders and parities of electromagnetic transitions to bound states in nuclei. A new polarised bremsstrahlung facility has been constructed at the 15 MeV linac in Gent. The experimental arrangement is discussed and first results are presented.
