MeV- and Sub-MeV-photon Sources Based on Compton

摘要: Recently we have constructed two facilities for generating photon beams in the MeV and subMeV energy regions by means of the
Compton backscattering with a laser and an electron beam at SPring8 and at Kansai Photon Science Institute of Japan Atomic Energy Agency(KPSIJAEA). The MeVphoton source at SPring8 consists of a continuouswave opticallypumped far infrared laser with a wavelength of 118.8 μm and an 8 GeV stored electron beam. Present MeVphoton flux is estimated to be 1.3×103
photons/s. On the other hand, the subMeVphoton source at KPSIJAEA consists of a pulse Nd∶YAG laser with a wavelength of
1 064 nm and a 150 MeV electron beam accelerated by microtron. In the first trial of the photon production in this source, backscattered photon flux is estimated to be 20 photons/pulse. Both the Compton backscattered photon sources have possibilities to be used for new tools in various fields such as nuclear physics, materials science, and astronomy.
