Laser-Compton Scattering X-ray (LCS-X) sources have been expected as compact and powerful sources, beyond X-ray tubes. They will enable laboratories and companies, opening new X-ray science. It is well known that luminosity depends on the collision angle of a laser and electron beam. Head-on collision is ideal in the point of maximizing the luminosity, though it is difficult to create such a system especially with an optical enhancement cavity for a laser. In collider experiments, however, crab crossing is a promising way to increase the luminosity. We are planning to apply crab crossing to LCS to achieve a higher luminosity leading to a more intense X-ray source. Electron beams will be tilted to half of the collision angle using an RF-deflector. Although crab crossing in Laser-Compton scattering has been already proposed, it has not been demonstrated yet anywhere.* The goal of this study is to experimentally prove the luminosity increase by adopting crab crossing. In this conference, we will report about our compact accelerator system at Waseda University, laser system favorable for crab crossing LCS, and expected results of crab crossing LCS.

We have been studying a coherent Cherenkov radiation by using tilted electron bunches. Bunch tilting can enhance the radiation power about 10 times due to the wavefront matching of radiations. Recently, we investigated that this technique can produce high peak power THz pulses with sufficient pulse energy. Resulting pulse energy was more than 30 nJ/pulse and peak power was about 10 kW. Introducing the oscillator cavity with two concave mirrors, it would be possible to achieve lasing using tilted electron bunches. In the calculation, 1 uJ/micro-pulse and 100 uJ/macro-pulse broadband THz pulses are expected to be achieved, which are powerful THz sources compared with the existing THz FELs. In this conference, we will report the experimental results of coherent Cherenkov radiation, calculated results toward lasing and future prospectives.
