Generation of GeV Photon Energy at European X-Ray Free Electron Laser | |
|
||
| Intense high-energy photon beams (>1 GeV) with multiple outstanding characteristics, such as energy tunability, good directivity, quasi-monochromaticity, etc., offer numerous novel applications in nuclear physics, high-energy physics, and non-destructive material analysis. Potential applications of the high photon energy include protein crystallography, along with searches for Dark Photons and Axion-like Particles. European X-ray free electron laser based on superconductor linear accelerator is able to generate short high current electron bunches at megahertz intra-train repetition rate in the range of 17.5 GeV energy. We employ its capabilities and show the potential of this facility in the generation of GeV photon energy. We employ laser Compton scattering at the spreader of the south branch FEL line and simulate the generation of GeV photon energy | ||

| We analyze the transition between Compton Scattering and Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS), characterized by an equal exchange of energy and momentum between the colliding particles (electrons and photons). In this Symmetric Compton Scattering (SCS) regime, the energy-angle correlation of scattered photons is cancelled, and, when the electron recoil is large, monochromaticity is transferred from one colliding beam to the other. Large-recoil SCS or quasi-SCS can be used to design compact intrinsic monochromatic γ-ray sources based on compact linacs, thus avoiding the use of GeV-class electron beams and powerful laser/optical systems as required for ICS sources. At very low recoil and energy collisions (about 10 keV energy range), SCS can be exploited to heat the colliding electron beam, which is scattered with large transverse momenta over the entire solid angle, offering a technique to trap electrons into magnetic bottles for plasma heating. | ||
