Description
RadiaBeam has recently constructed and commissioned an in-house Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) pilot Demonstrator facility. This compact machine is driven by the novel C-band hybrid photoinjector, which produces high brightness longitudinally compressed beam (250 A) injected into the 2 meter long 100 MeV accelerator module, based on the high-gradient distributed-coupling split-structure C-band linacs developed at SLAC. The resultant light source produces tunable ICS X-rays up to 200 keV in on-axis photon energy. This paper reviews the machine design, development steps, commissioning, and initial experimental program results. Besides the active ICS X-ray program, the Demonstrator machine can be used for electron beam experiments, including applications and beam instrumentation developments. With the repetition rate of up to 120 Hz, it can be utilized as a test bed for undulators, diagnostics, and FEL injection studies.
