The ThomX accelerator facility is composed by a 50-70 MeV linac driven by 3 GHz RF gun, a transfer line and a 18 meters long Storage Ring (SR). The Compton backscattering at each revolution between the 1 nC electron bunch and the 25 mJ laser pulses stacked in the Fabry-Perot cavity results in the production of ~1013 photons per second with energies in the X-ray regime. This high flux of the X-rays strongly depends on the quality (beam sizes) of the electron beam at the interaction point. To guarantee this, a good knowledge and quality of the linear lattice of the ThomX SR are required. Nowadays, LOCO (Linear Optics from Closed Orbits) is a well-known and widely used algorithm to measure and restore the linear optics of the SRs and ensure the designed performances. Comparing the measured and model orbit response matrices, the linear lattice can be restored by retuning the quadrupole gradients. In this paper, we report on the LOCO analysis of the ThomX SR taking into account simulated misalignment, calibration and field errors. |

| Gamma sources with high flux and spectral densities are the main requirements for new nuclear physics experiments to be performed in several worldwide laboratories with dedicated facilities. The presentation is focalized on a proposal of experiment of gamma photons production using Compton collisions between the DAΦNE electron beam and a high average power laser pulse, amplified in a Fabry-Pérot optical resonator. The calculations show that the resulting gamma beam source has extremely interesting properties in terms of spectral density, energy spread and gamma flux comparable (and even better) with the last generation gamma sources. The energy of the gamma beam depends on the adopted laser wavelength and can be tuned changing the energy of the electron ring. In particular we have analyzed the case of a gamma factory tunable in the 2-9 MeV range. The main parameters of this new facility are presented and the perturbation on the transverse and longitudinal electron beam dynamics is discussed. A preliminary accelerator layout to allow experiments with the gamma beam is presented with a first design of the accelerator optics. | ||
