Description

Laser Compton scattering gamma-ray beam source was developed on BL01 of NewSUBARU synchrotron radiation facility. The gamma-ray beams were used for application experiments, a nuclear physics research, a nondestructive inspection of thick material, a magnet Compton scattering measurements, and nuclear transmutation research. Recently, new gamma-ray irradiation hutch was added to expand experimental area. Permission of radiation safety control for new hutch has been approved. In new hutch, gamma-ray photon energy of up to 76 MeV is available. Expected flux of quasi-monochromatic gamma-ray (16.7MeV, ΔE/E∼7.5%) is 6x105 γ/s using 10W Nd laser and 250 mA electron current. User application of this gamma-ray source will be started this fall. (author)
