Possibilities for an Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) setup using Indus Synchrotrons facility at RRCAT, Indore for creating MeV Gamma ray beams based Nuclear Facility (ICSNF)

The RRCAT, DAE at Indore has been running successfully the INDUS Synchrotrons with large number of beam line facilities which are concurrently used for a very large number of experiments in science conducted by universities and other national institutes of higher learning. The Indore Centre of the UGC DAE Consortium for Scientific Research has the mandate for supporting experiments using the RRCAT facilities and a large variety of these experiments in the most prolifically pursued field of Materials Science. The concern here is around the possibility of using the photon back scattering in the collision involving photons (produced and transported in a preferably time matched fashion from a conventional laser setup set up outside the ring) with the relativistic electron beams at the Indus Synchrotrons storage rings to produce MeV-gamma rays suitable for some interesting nuclear- physics/astrophysics studies
