“…In the third arrangement of ring Compton sources, a coherent optical beam stored in a highfinesse high average power optical cavity is collided with electrons in a storage ring. As an example, the TERAS ring Compton source flux was increased and order of magnitude by installing a long-axis Fabry-Perot cavity [46]. Such an arrangement has two interesting advantages compared to the intracavity arrangement.…”

When a relativistic electron beam interacts with a high-field laser beam, the beam electrons can radiate intense and highly collimated electromagnetic radiation through Compton scattering. Through relativistic upshifting and the relativistic Doppler effect, highly energetic polarized photons are radiated along the electron beam motion when the electrons interact with the laser light. For example, X-ray radiation can be obtained when optical lasers are scattered from electrons of tens of MeV beam energy. Because of the desirable properties of the radiation produced, many groups around the world have been designing, building, and utilizing Compton sources for a wide variety of purposes. In this review paper, we discuss the generation and properties of the scattered radiation, the types of Compton source devices that have been constructed to present, and the future prospects of radiation sources of this general type. Due to the possibilities to produce hard electromagnetic radiation in a device small compared to the alternative storage ring sources, it is foreseen that large numbers of such sources may be constructed in the future.

When a relativistic electron beam interacts with a high-field laser beam, intense and highly collimated electromagnetic radiation will be generated through Compton scattering. Through relativistic upshifting and the relativistic Doppler effect, highly energetic polarized photons are radiated along the electron beam motion when the electrons interact with the laser light. For example, X-ray radiation can be obtained when optical lasers are scattered from electrons of tens-of-MeV beam energy. Because of the desirable properties of the radiation produced, many groups around the world have been designing, building, and utilizing Compton sources for a wide variety of purposes. In this review article, we discuss the generation and properties of the scattered radiation, the types of Compton source devices that have been constructed to date, and the prospects of radiation sources of this general type. Due to the possibilities of producing hard electromagnetic radiation in a device that is small compared to the alternative storage ring sources, it is foreseen that large numbers of such sources may be constructed in the future.
