Beam dynamics in Compton ring gamma sources

Gamma-Ray Astronomy in the Compton Era

Advances and Challenges in Compton Radiation Sources*

Ongoing developments in Compton radiation sources are aimed toward a diversity of potential applications, ranging from university-scale compact x-ray light sources and metrology tools for EUV lithography, to positron sources for ee colliders. Novel conceptual approaches are pursued on different routes: One research direction lies in multiplying the source’s repetition rate and increasing its av...

Linac-based Laser Compton Scattering X-ray and Gamma-ray Sources

Laser Compton scattering (LCS) light sources can provide high-energy photons from keV to MeV range. Many research and development projects of linac-based LCS sources are carried on. For the photon energies of tens keV, linac-based LCS sources realize laboratory-size X-ray sources, of which performance is potentially comparable to 2 generation synchrotron light sources. Linac-based LCS also real...

Beam and Spin Dynamics for Storage Ring Based EDM Search

Full spin-tracking simulations of the entire experiment are absolutely crucial to explore the feasibility of the planned storage ring EDM (Electric Dipole Moment) experiments and to investigate systematic limitations. For a detailed study during the storage and build-up of the EDM signal, one needs to track a large sample of particles for billions of turns. In addition, benchmarking experiments...
