TL;DR
This paper explores the design of a compact Laser-Electron X-ray Generator using Thomson scattering, aiming to provide a more accessible and cost-effective alternative to traditional X-ray sources for material and life sciences.
Contribution
It presents a detailed design study of a compact Thomson X-ray generator with two operational modes, expanding potential applications in science and medicine.
Findings
Two operation modes (quasi CW and pulsed) are feasible for the generator.
The generator can produce intense X-rays suitable for scientific and medical use.
Potential for a more accessible X-ray source compared to synchrotrons.
Abstract
X-Ray generations utilizing Thomson scattering fill in the gap that exists between conventional and synchrotron-based X-ray sources. They are expected to be more intense than X-ray tubes and more compact, accessible and less expensive than synchrotron. In this work, two operation modes of Thomson X-ray source are documented: quasi CW(QCW) and a pulsed one are considered for material sciences and medical applications being implemented currently at Synchrotron Radiation (SR) facilities.
