Abstract

The quality and intensity of [Formula presented] rays at the High Intensity [Formula presented]-ray Source are shown to make nuclear resonance fluorescence studies possible at a new level of precision and efficiency. First experiments have been carried out using an intense [Formula presented] beam of [Formula presented] linearly polarized, nearly monoenergetic, [Formula presented] rays on the semimagic nucleus [Formula presented]. Negative parity quantum numbers have been assigned to 18 dipole excitations of [Formula presented] between 5.5 MeV and 6.5 MeV from azimuthal [Formula presented]-intensity asymmetries.
