  To optimize the detection of an 11-keV X-Ray beam produced by Inverse Compton Scattering at the ELSA facility*, with a 17 MeV electron beam and a 532 nm laser, we demonstrate the use of a very sensitive detection scheme, based on a radio luminescent screen used in the spontaneous emission regime. It has proven to be very sensitive and very effective to detect 11-keV X-Rays while rejecting the overall ambient noise produced in a harder spectral range. It allowed us to optimize the electron-photon interaction probability by observing in real time the effect of both beams transport parameters. We could then compare simulation results with experimental measurements that appear to be in good agreement.
