The all-electromagnetic (e,e′γ) reaction had first been used for nuclear structure measurements in the 1980s [1]. Since then very few experiments were based on this reaction. One of the challenges of this measurement technique lies in the coincident bremsstrahlung, which - apart from the angular distribution - can not be distinguished from the γ-radiation of decaying nuclei after excitation by inelastic electron scattering. In 2021 a successful 96Ru (e,e′γ) measurement was performed at the S-DALINAC with 35 times improved resolution [2]. The scattered electrons were registered with the QCLAM spectrometer. The γ-radiation was detected by 6 LaBr3:Ce detectors. The double differential cross section of the bremsstrahlung contribution is computed within PWBA and combined with GEANT4 simulations to model pure bremsstrahlung spectra. A subtraction of the bremsstrahlung background will be applied to the 96Ru (e,e′γ) data and allow for the extraction of ground-state γ-decays of excited states. Preliminary results on treating the bremsstrahlung contribution will be presented.
