Description
Laser-electron X-ray source based on inverse Compton (Thomson) scattering is a novel type of high spectral brightness X-ray sources. The state-of-the-art design of electron accelerators and high power lasers had paved the way for a construction of these compact facilities that are able to produce a nearly synchrotron-quality X-ray radiation for material and life science studies and many other fields [1, 2]. The essential added values are the generation of picosecond X-ray pulses and tunable output photon energy spectrum with a potential extension towards the region of gamma radiation.
The presentation deals with the main principles, layouts and possible applications of Compton X-ray sources based on a 50-MeV electron accelerator specified for production of X-ray photons with the energy of 20-45 keV. The design options include a utilization of an electron storage ring for high average photon flux generation[3].
