  ThomX is a new gen­er­a­tion com­pact Comp­ton source. The ma­chine is com­posed of a 50/70 MeV in­jec­tor linac and a stor­age ring where an elec­tron bunch col­lides with a laser pulse ac­cu­mu­lated in a Fabry-Perot res­onator. The com­pact source, built at Irene Jo­liot-Curie Lab­o­ra­tory (IJ­CLAB) in the Orsay cam­pus of Paris-Saclay Uni­ver­sity, is de­signed to pro­duce a total flux of 1013 ph/s and a bright­ness of 1011 ph / (s.​mm2.​mrad2) in 0.1% of band­width with a tun­able en­ergy rang­ing from 45 keV to 90 keV on the X-ray beam axis. The photo-in­jec­tor is com­posed of a home­made 2.5 cell pho­to­cath­ode RF-gun, placed be­tween two so­le­noids. An en­ergy of 5 MeV is reached with a 80 MV/m elec­tric field gra­di­ent. Dur­ing the com­mis­sion­ing phase, a 4.8 m S-band LIL sec­tion will be used to achieve a 50 MeV cor­re­spond­ing to a 45 keV X-ray en­ergy. The LIL ac­cel­er­at­ing sec­tion is a quasi-con­stant gra­di­ent trav­el­ing wave struc­ture. The en­ergy gain in the sec­tion is 45 MeV, cor­re­spond­ing to an av­er­age ef­fec­tive ac­cel­er­at­ing gra­di­ent of 10 MV/m for an input RF power of 9 MW. Here we pre­sent the elec­tro­mag­netic and beam dy­nam­ics stud­ies of the ThomX LINAC.
