A: The Extreme Light Infrastructure -Nuclear Physics facility will deliver brilliant gamma beams with high spectral density and a high degree of polarization starting in 2018 in Bucharest-Magurele, Romania. Several monitoring instruments are proposed for measuring the spectral, temporal, and spatial characteristics of the gamma beam. The d(γ,n)p reaction has been investigated for its use in determining the gamma beam parameters in a series of measurements carried out at the High Intensity Gamma Source, Durham, U.S.A.. Measurements of the emitted neutrons have been performed using liquid scintillator and 6 Li-glass neutron detectors at several incident gamma energies between 2.5 to 20 MeV. The experimental results presented in this paper have shown that an instrument based on the d(γ,n)p reaction can be used to monitor the intensity and polarization of the gamma beam to be produced at ELI-NP.
