Compton backscattering* is a promising mechanism for engineering of a bright, compact and versatile X-ray source: with dimensions being significantly smaller, the brightness of this source is comparable with that of synchrotron radiation. Nowadays, active researches are underway on various aspects of this phenomenon** aiming at increasing of radiation intensity and quality. In modern science, such kind of research is necessarily accompanied by the computer simulations. In this report, we are talking about creation and implementation of the Compton backscattering module into the Geant4 package***, which is the leading simulation toolkit in high-energy physics, accelerator physics, medical physics, and space studies. Created module of Compton backscattering has been implemented as a discrete physical process and operates with a fixed light target (a virtual volume with the properties of a laser beam), with which a beam of charged particles interacts. Such a description allows user to flexibly change necessary parameters depending on the problem being solved, which opens up new possibilities for using Geant4 in the studied area.
