	Funding: ANR, IN2P3 The next generation of e+/e^- colliders will require the production of a very intense flux of gamma rays to allow polarized positrons to be produced in sufficient quantities. To demonstrate that this can be achieved a four-mirror cavity has recently been installed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK to produce a high flux of polarized gamma rays by inverse Compton scattering. A four-mirror non-planar geometry is used to ensure the polarization of the gamma rays produced. The main mechanical features of the cavity are presented. A fibre amplifier is used to inject about 10W in the high finesse cavity with a gain of 1000. A digital feedback system is used to keep the cavity at the length required for the optimal power enhancement. First preliminary measurements show that on some beam crossings the interactions produce more than 25 photons with an average energy of about 24 MeV. Several upgrades currently in progress are described.

In this framework a four-mirror Fabry-Perot cavity has been installed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF - KEK, Tsukuba, Japan) and will be used to produce an intense flux of polarized gamma rays by Compton scattering. For electrons at the energy of the ATF (1.28GeV) Compton scattering may result in a shorter lifetime due to the limited bucket acceptance. We have implemented the effect of Compton scattering on a 2D tracking code with a Monte-Carlo method. This code has been used to study the longitudinal dynamics of the electron beam at the ATF damping ring, in particular the evolution of the energy spread and the bunch length under Compton scattering. The results obtained are presented and discussed. Possible methods to observe the effect of Compton scattering on the ATF beam are proposed.

Compton scattering provides one of the most promising scheme to obtain polarized positrons for the next generation of e⁺e⁻ colliders. Moreover it is an attractive method to produce monochromatic high energy polarized gammas for nuclear applications and X-rays for compact light sources. In this framework a four-mirror Fabry-Perot cavity has been installed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF - KEK, Tsukuba, Japan) and will be used to produce an intense flux of polarized gamma rays by Compton scattering. For electrons at the energy of the ATF (1.28GeV) Compton scattering may result in a shorter lifetime due to the limited bucket acceptance. We have implemented the effect of Compton scattering on a 2D tracking code with a Monte-Carlo method. This code has been used to study the longitudinal dynamics of the electron beam at the ATF damping ring, in particular the evolution of the energy spread and the bunch length under Compton scattering. The results obtained are presented and discussed. Possible methods to observe the effect of Compton scattering on the ATF beam are proposed.
