Abstract
- Quasi-monochromatic gamma-ray beam produced with the laser-Compton scattering (LCS) in 1–40 MeV has been used for various scientific studies and industrial applications in the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). We briefly overview the recent research progress in AIST. Since the first observation of the LCS gamma-ray beam in 1984 at AIST, photon generation techniques have been studied and improved. A beamline dedicated for user experiments was installed in FY 2000, and has been used by many users since then. There are many research programs being carried out using the LCS beamline, such as nuclear and atomic physics studies, radiation detector calibration and non-destructive tests.
