Radioactive isotopes have been produced via photo-nuclear reaction using a 60 MeV high-power electron linac for research fields of nuclear chemistry and radioac-tive analysis at Research Center for Electron Photon Science (ELPH), Tohoku University. The electron beam with an average current more than 100 μA is transported to an electron-bremsstrahlung gamma-ray converter of 2 mm thickness platinum or tungsten plate at the irradiation station. A target of 10 mm diameter is placed 3 cm behind a converter. It is enclosed with a quartz glass in the water cooling system and is irradiated for photonuclear reaction. Since the correlation between the spatial profile of bremsstrahlung gamma-rays at the target position and accelerator parameters is of our primary interest, nickel thin films are irradiated and the profiles of bremsstrahlung gamma-rays are measured by intensity distribution measurements of 57Ni radioactivity using the phosphorus imaging plate. In the meantime, the beam emittance and Twiss parameters are measured., Proceedings of the 7th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2016, Busan, Korea
