- duty factor >90% at 500 MHz beam pulse repetition rate [1]
- orientable diamond crystal bremsstrahlung radiator [2]
- peak linear polarization of 40% at 9 GeV with collimation [2,3]
- average polarization 36% in coherent peak 8.4 - 9.0 GeV [2,3]
- photon beam collimator with half-angle 22 μr [3]
- photon beam centered on collimator to within 3 μr [3]
- photons tagged with energy resolution better than 60 MeV (0.5%) within coherent peak [1,4,5]
