With a maximum total flux of about 3·10¹⁰ gamma/s and a spectral flux of more than 1,000 gamma/s/eV around 10 MeV, the HIGS is the world’s highest-flux Compton gamma-ray source. Operated in the energy range from 1 to 100 MeV, the HIGS is a premier Compton gamma-ray facility in the world for a variety of nuclear physics research programs, both fundamental and applied. In this work, we will describe our recent light source development to enable the production of gamma rays in the higher energy range from 100 and 120 MeV. We will also provide a summary of our recent accelerator physics and FEL physics research activities.
