CBETA, the Cornell-Brookhaven accelerator currently being commissioned at Cornell, is an SRF multi-turn ERL using Non-Scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (NS-FFA) arcs. CBETA has high quality design parameters with an anticipated top energy of 150 MeV on the fourth pass. The expected parameters of a Compton source at CBETA include a top x-ray energy of over 400 keV with a flux on the order of 10¹² ph/s. One particular application requiring a high energy, high flux source is spectroscopy in high energy atomic physics. In this paper, we present anticipated parameters and potential applications in science and engineering for this source. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
