Generation of laser compton gamma-ray at SAGA-LS

  • 1. SAGA Light Source, Tosu, Saga (Japan)

Description

We have started a laser Compton scattering (LCS) experiment using a CO2 laser at the SAGA-LS storage ring. In the LCS experiment, a CO2 laser photon is scattered by the 1.4 GeV electron beam in a head-on collision. A gamma-ray beam of 3.5 MeV maximum photon energy is generated and used to measure the stored electron beam energy. The LCS event rate is estimated to be 4x104 sec-1 with a beam current of 2 mA and a laser power of 1 W. We have determined the electron beam energy with a relative uncertainty of about 0.3% through a careful analysis of the LCS gamma-ray spectrum. (author)
