Analytical Calculations for Thomson-Backscattering — •Paul Volz1,2 and Atoosa Meseck1 — 1Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin — 2Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Scattering high intensity laser radiation on MeV electrons can yield high energy photons that would require GeV or even TeV electron beams using conventional undulators or dipoles. Thus, given the availability of a high brightness electron beam, X-ray and gamma ray sources based on Thomson and Compton backscattering seem very promising. However, the quality of the generated X-ray or gamma beams in terms of flux, bandwidth, and brilliance is often inferior to the radiation delivered by conventional sources. In order to study the merit of Thomson-backscattering-based light sources, we are developing an analytical code to simulate the characteristics of the Thomson scattered radiation. The goal is to incorporate the incident laser profile as well as the full 6D bunch profile, including microbunching. The status of the code and first results will be presented.
