Abstract
By combining a curved-crystal spectrometer, operated in Cauchois geome try, with a broad gamma-ray source with a continuous energy spectrum, it is possible to construct a tunable gamma-ray source from which mono chromatic gamma-ray beams with small divergence and energies ranging f rom a few tens of keV up to a few MeV can be obtained.
