Development of a Watt-level gamma-ray source based on high-repetition-rate inverse Compton scattering

[摘要] A high-brilliance (similar to 10(22) photon s(-1) mm(-2) mrad(-2)/0.1%) gamma-ray source experiment is currently being planned at Fermilab (E-y similar or equal to 1.1 MeV). The source implements a high-repetition-rate inverse Compton scattering by colliding electron bunches formed in a 300-MeV superconducting linac with a high-intensity laser pulse. This paper describes the design rationale along with some of technical challenges associated to producing high-repetition-rate collision. The expected performances of the gamma-ray source are also presented. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
