EuroGammaS gamma characterisation system for ELI-NP-GBS: The nuclear resonance scattering technique

Abstract A Gamma Beam Characterisation System has been designed by the EuroGammaS association for the commissioning and development of the Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics Gamma Beam System (ELI-NP-GBS) to be installed in Magurele, Romania. The characterisation system consists of four elements: a Compton spectrometer, a sampling calorimeter, a nuclear resonant scattering spectrometer (NRSS) and a beam profile imager. In this paper, the nuclear resonant scattering spectrometer system, designed to perform an absolute energy calibration for the gamma beam, will be described.
