Description

A simple method for generating brilliant X-ray beams is proposed, in which inelastic collisions of circulating relativistic electrons with a thin wire target are used. The high brilliance of this new photon source results from narrow angular divergence due to the kinematics of relativistic electrons, and repeated use of electron beams. The estimated brilliance of this source based on a 50 MeV electron storage ring exceeds that of compact synchrotron light sources in the hard X-ray region. (author)
