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...

Compton scattering sequence reconstruction algorithm for the liquid xenon gamma - ray imaging telescope ( LXeGRIT )

The Liquid Xenon Gamma-Ray Imaging Telescope (LXeGRIT) is a balloon born experiment sensitive to γ–rays in the energy band of 0.2–20 MeV. The main detector is a time projection chamber filled with high purity liquid xenon (LXeTPC), in which the three–dimensional location and energy deposit of individual γ–ray interactions are accurately measured in one homogeneous volume. To determine the γ–ray...

Inverse Compton scattering model for gamma-ray production in MeV blazars

It is proposed that the spectra of so called ’MeV blazars’ can be explained in terms of previously developed models of the external comptonization of accretion disk radiation provided that the structure of the inner and outer parts of the accretion disk is different. The electron acceleration is saturated by the inverse Compton losses in the inner geometrically thick disk and the outer geometri...
