Description
Abstract: The advent of both high intensity high average power laser
beams and high beam quality electron beams from SRF linacs
has led to a resurgence of interest in the idea of obtaining
narrow-band X-rays through the Compton Scattering process.
In this talk the main features of the X-ray beams to be expected
from such such sources are reviewed, as well as some recent work
relating to minimizing X-ray bandwidth through suitable beam chirping.
Much of the talk will consist of a review of a spoke-cavity SRF linac designed
for a Compton source, and predictions of the beam performance of the source
linac through start-to-end beam simulations to the source collision point.
Our conclusion is that excellent beam collision conditions can be
obtained in this way.
