Abstract

One of the most promising approaches to short pulsed X-ray generation is a compact X-ray source using inverse Compton scattering. It is based on inverse Compton scattering between a relativistic electron beam and a laser pulse. The Compton X-ray source has many features, which are tunability of the wavelength, the spectrum distribution, the spatial distribution and the yield of the scattered photons. The characteristics of the scattered photons can be controlled by varying the collision angle between the electron beam and the laser pulse, and by changing energy of the electron beam or wavelength of the laser light. The features of the X-ray source using inverse Compton X-ray source and its application are introduced in this paper. Development of Compton X-ray source has been started at Waseda University, and recent experimental setup will be described in combination with the accelerator and the laser system.
