  The Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) X-ray source of ELSA accelerator at CEA-DAM, presents an efficient approach for generating X-rays with a compact linac. The source consists of a 30 MeV, 15 ps rms, up to 3 nC electron beam; and a table-top Nd:YAG laser. X-rays are produced in the 10-80 keV range, higher X-ray energies achieved with frequency doubling of the laser. The yield is increased by a factor of 8 thanks to an optical mirror system developed at CEA, folding the laser beam path and accumulating successive laser pulses. We present a new version of the device, with improvement of mechanical constraints management, adjunction of motorized mirrors, and a new imaging system. A Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) system was also designed, enabling higher amplification levels without exceeding laser damage threshold. The uniqueness of this CPA system lies in its use of a short wavelength bandwidth, ±250 pm after Self-Phase Modulation (SPM) broadening, and a line density of 1850 lines/mm for the gratings of the compressor. The pulse is stretched with a chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) before amplification in Nd:YAG amplifiers, and compressed by a double pass grating compressor.

  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.

TU4P33 An Inverse-Compton Scattering Simulation Module for RF-Track photon, simulation, HOM, laser 151

  A simulation module implementing Inverse-Compton scattering (ICS) was added to the tracking code RF-Track. The module consists of a special beamline element that simulates the interaction between the tracked beam and a laser, making RF-Track capable of simulating a complete ICS source in one go, from the electron source to the photons. The description of the laser allows the user to thoroughly quality the laser in terms of wavelength, pulse energy, pulse length, incoming direction, M2 parameter, aspect ratio, polarisation and whether the laser profile should be Gaussian or uniform. Furthermore, as the code implements fully generic expressions, the scattering between photons and different particles than electrons can be simulated. A benchmark against CAIN showed excellent agreement and that RF-Track outperforms CAIN in terms of computational speed by orders of magnitude.

  HALF (Hefei Advanced Light Facility) is a fourth-generation synchrotron light source that just started construction in 2023. With 2.2 GeV in energy, 350 mA in beam current and 86 pm.rad in emittance, the HALF storage ring faces several beam dynamics challenges. This presentation gives the recent study on some of these issues, in particular the beam collimation and the influence and compensation of the insertion devices. For beam collimation, different beam loss mechanisms have been studied, and the Touschek scattering and beam dumping are considered the two major effects in designing the collimation system. Then two collimators with movable horizontal blades and fixed passive vertical blades are being designed, with the main focus on the collimation efficiency and impedance. For the influence of the insertion devices, it is found that some of the long-period undulators have a high impact on the beam dynamic aperture due to low beam energy and originally small dynamic aperture. The local compensation methods for both linear and non-linear effects have been studied. Instead of the traditional compensation method by electrical wires, the method of using two combined magnets with quadrupole and octupole fields at the two ID ends in restoring the dynamic aperture is also studied and compared.

WE4P24 Optics for an Electron Cooler for the EIC Based on an Electron Storage Ring electron, wiggler, emittance, sextupole 200

An electron cooler based on a storage ring is one of the options to improve the luminosity in the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The transverse emittance of the electrons in the cooler is driven by the quantum excitation in dipoles and wigglers, as well as by both beam-beam scattering with the ions and intra-beam scattering of the electrons in the regions with a non-zero dispersion. The resulting demand to minimize a dispersion conflicts with the need of a sufficient dispersion in sextupoles for chromaticity correction. In this report we discuss our studies of several approaches to electron ring lattice, including those typically used in light sources, and present resulting compromise between various requirements.

  A high-pulse-current photoinjector followed by a short high-gradient X-band linac and a Fabry-Pérot enhancement cavity are considered as a driver for a compact Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) source. Using a high-power ultra-short pulse laser operating in burst mode in a Fabry-Pérot enhancement cavity, we show that outcoming photons with a total flux over 1013 and energies in the MeV range are achievable. The resulting high-intensity and high-energy photons allow various applications, including cancer therapy, tomography, and nuclear material detection. A preliminary conceptual design of such a compact ICS source and simulations of the expected performance are presented.
