Development of the Vanderbilt Compton X-RAY Facility.

Abstract

The intense IR photon output of the Vanderbilt FEL is to be made to collide with its own high energy electron beam to create nearly monochromatic Compton Backscattered X-Rays. At Vanderbilt, a sub-project of FEL generated X-Rays is under development parallel to the construction and initial operation of the FEL main project. The electron beamline and JR photon beam line designs are near completion, including design of electron beamline magnets and their layout, design of IR optical beamline elements and their layout, electron and IR optical beam diagnostics and alignment methods.
