Description

A novel method for generating brilliant x-ray beams is proposed, in which inelastic collisions of circulating relativistic electrons and a thin wire target are used. The high brilliance of this new photon source is based on narrow angular divergence due to the kinematics of relativistic electrons, and repeated use of electron beams. The estimated brilliance of this source in a 50-MeV electron storage ring is comparable to that of a compact synchrotron light source. copyright 1996 American Institute of Physics
