Abstract

A quasi-monochromatic X-ray source based on a KAERI SC linac system has been designed and is being manufactured now. 10 MeV 10 mA electron beam together with 20 W 1.06 μm laser beam will be used for 1.8 keV Compton X-ray generation with a few percentage of energy spread and 10 7 photons /s flux. A simple straight beamline was designed to deliver the electron beam with no degradation of its emittance and energy spread and to focus it to a proper size to produce the desired X-rays. We expect the first demonstration of 1.8 keV Compton X-ray generation in autumn 2006.
