Basing on the slant Compton scattering of 10640 nm photons from a 100 W CO 2 laser on 3.5 GeV electrons from the Shanghai Light Source, the Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source (SLEGS) produces gamma-ray in the energy range of 0.66 MeV–21.7 MeV and flux of 105–107 photons/s. A Gamma Modulation System (GMS) composed of the collimators, attenuator, beam spot imaging(MiniPIX) and flux monitor(LaBr 3 detector) was developed to ensure producing bandwidth-variable quasi-monochromatic gamma-ray with a variable-flux at same time. Using the GMS, variable-flux quasi-monochromatic gamma-ray beams with a best bandwidth of 10% in the 90 ∘ slant-scattering and 4% in back-scattering were obtained respectively. We report on the performance of the GMS and results of gamma-ray beam modulating measurement with GMS at SLEGS. • SLEGS is a medium energy resolution slant-scattering beamline. • This article provides beam parameters for users on SLEGS. • The Gamma Modulation System(GMS) is effective in modulating gamma-ray beams. • Using the GMS, 4%–10% energy resolution can be obtained. • Flux of 105-107 photons/s can be obtained with 5 W laser power.

Total-energy responses of a 76 mm × 200 mm BGO detector were used to deduce energy distributions of quasi-monoenergetic gamma-rays generated at the Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source (SLEGS) of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Responses of the BGO detector to monoenergetic gamma-rays produced in (p , γ) reactions on LiF, 27Al, and 13C targets were measured at the China Institute of Atomic Energy. A direct unfolding of BGO total-energy responses into gamma-ray energy distributions was iteratively performed by solving a set of linear equations with the monoenergetic response of the BGO detector being the matrix element. We present resultant energy distributions of gamma-ray beams produced in the slant-scattering at SLEGS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
