MOPEA001 | Production and Characterisation of Inverse Compton Scattering X-rays with a 17 MeV Electron Beam | 61 |

||
Inverse Compton scattering is a well-known process to produce X-rays. Thanks to recent progress in accelerators and laser field, such sources have been developed worldwide. The ELSA linear electron accelerator (CEA DAM DIF, Arpajon, France) just developed its own source. The 17 MeV electron beam interacts with a 532 nm laser to provide a pulsed 10 keV X-ray source. The X-ray beam profile is observed on radio-luminescent imaging plates. In order to increase the signal to noise ratio of this X-ray source, laser developments are in progress. |
