High energy photon beams can be generated via Laser Compton Scattering (LCS), which is a collision of relativistic electrons and laser photons.
Our research covers generation and application of LCS gamma-rays:
- electron guns for small emittance and high average current
- superconducting accelerators
- energy recovery linacs
- free electron lasers
- gamma-ray optics
- nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics
- non-destructive detection and measurement of nuclear material
- Monte Carlo simulation codes
