Production of gamma rays by pulsed laser beam Compton scattering off GeV-electrons using a non-planar four-mirror optical cavity
2012
As part of the positron source R&D for future e+−e− colliders and Compton based compact light sources, a high finesse non-planar four-mirror Fabry-Perot cavity has recently been installed at the ATF (KEK, Tsukuba, Japan) [1]. The first measurements of the gamma ray flux produced with a such cavity using a pulsed laser is presented here. We demonstrate the production of a flux of 2.7 ± 0.2 gamma rays per bunch crossing ( ~ 3 × 106 gammas per second) during the commissioning.
