The setup for experiments with electron bremsstrahlung is one of the beam-lines at the Center for High-Power Radiation Sources of Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany. The heart of the center is a superconducting electron linear accelerator of high brilliance and low emittance (ELBE). Generated in a thermionic gun, the electron beam passes the subsequent main accelerator modules. The floorplan in Figure 1 shows the various beam-lines for the production of secondary radiation around the accelerator. In addition to the beam-line for bremsstrahlung (γELBE), there are facilities for the production of positrons (pELBE) with systems for monoenergetic positron spectroscopy, for the production of fast neutrons with a time-of-flight system (nELBE), two free-electron lasers (FELBE), and a THz source (TELBE).
