Description

The inverse Compton scattering (ICS) source based on the collision between high-quality electron beams and laser can generate high-brightness quasi-monoenergetic γ-rays. Our labs have developed a compact MeV quasi-monoenergetic γ-ray ICS source and has successfully commissioned. The VIGAS can generate gamma ray beam with energy can be adjusted from 0.2-4.8MeV, and flux about 10^8 phones/second. A high-quality compact electron linear accelerator, which integrated S-band (gun, buncher and pre-accelerator) and X-band (main accelerator) structures, has been successfully operating with electron beams energy higher than 320 MeV within 9.7 meters. A low-level radio frequency (LLRF) system featuring high-precision synchronization has been successfully developed and has demonstrated stable operation. We have started the investigation of VIGAS applications and is currently conducting the preliminary experiments such as high energy phase contrast imaging.
