Abstract We have designed a dedicated low-energy electron storage ring to generate gamma-rays based on Compton scattering technique. The natural emittance of the ring is 3.4 nm at 500 MeV beam energy and the ring circumference is about 59 m. The resulting maximum gamma-ray photon energy is about 4 MeV by interacting with ~1 um laser. Due to the large energy loss associated with the gamma-ray photon emission, the electron beam dynamics are greatly affected. We have simulated the whole physics process including Compton scattering, radiation damping and quantum excitation and find that the equilibrium energy spread may be increased by one orders of magnitude depending on the laser parameters. We have studied the dependence of the equilibrium state on the laser intensity and wavelength, and the electron parameters based on our candidate ring lattice.
