TI - Multi-GHz Pulse-Train X-Band Capability for Laser Compton X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Sources J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - A wide variety of light-source applications would benefit from increased average brightness, which generally corresponds to increasing average current in the driving accelerator. Presented is an accelerator architecture that is capable of producing hundreds of electron bunches, spaced as close together as every RF cycle, which provides the chance to increase current while maintaining beam quality. This system relies on an X-band photoinjector and a photoinjection drive laser that is driven by the same rf source to ensure synchronization, and an interaction laser system designed to match the duty cycle of the electron pulse train. Results of the photoinjector laser performance and initial experimental measurements of beam quality in accelerated bunch trains are presented, along with a discussion of the impact on the performance of tunable, narrow-bandwidth x-ray and gamma-ray beams based on Compton-scattering.
