Funding: This work is funded by the European Union under contract PITN-GA-2011-289191 One of the most important parameters of accelerators is their beam energy. So far, the method of resonant depolarization was used to accurately determine the energy at 2.5 GeV of the ANKA electron storage ring, which, however, becomes cumbersome for lower energies. A good alternative is the detection of Compton backscattered photons, generated by laser light scattered off the relativistic electron beam. To achieve compactness and integration into the storage ring, the setup of transverse scattering is proposed instead of conventional head-on collision. The feasibility has been studied by comparison between simulations of Compton backscattered photons by AT and CAIN 2.35 and actual measurement of background radiation with an HPGe (High Purity Germanium) spectrometer. The layout of the setup is also included in the paper. |
