TI - A Compact Inverse Compton Scattering Source Based on X-Band Technology and Cavity-Enhanced High Average Power Ultrafast Lasers J2 - Proc. of LINAC2022, Liverpool, UK, 28 August-02 September 2022 CY - Liverpool, UK T2 - International Linear Accelerator Conference T3 - 31 LA - english AB - A high-pulse-current injector followed by a short high-gradient X-band linac is considered as a driver for a compact Inverse Compton Scattering source. We show that using a high-power ultrashort pulse laser operating in burst mode and a Fabry-Pérot enhancement cavity, X-rays with flux values over 10¹³ ph/s and photon energies up to MeV are achievable. The resulting high-intensity and high-energy X-rays allow for various applications, including cancer therapy, tomography, and nuclear waste management. A preliminary conceptual design of such a compact ICS source is presented, together with simulations of the expected performance.
