Abstract :
The GeV photon beam at SPring-8 is produced by backward-Compton scattering of laser photons from 8 GeV electrons. Polarization of the photon beam will be /spl sim/100% at the maximum energy with fully polarized laser photons. We report the status of the new facility and the prospect of hadron physics study with this high-quality beam. Preliminary results from the first physics run are presented.
