A Watt-level average-power gamma-ray source is currently under development at the FermiLab Accelerator Science & Technology (FAST) facility. The source is based on the inverse Compton scattering of a high-brightness 300-MeV beam against a high-power laser beam circulating in an optical cavity. The back scattered gamma rays are expected to have photon energies up to 1.5 MeV. This paper discusses the optimization of the source, its performance and the main challenges ahead.
