Description

The Mainz Energy-recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA), currently under construction at the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) in Mainz, will offer two modes of operation, one of which is an energy-recovering (ER) mode in order to deliver electron beams of up to 155 MeV to two experiments. As an ERL, MESA, with it's high brightness electron beam, is a promising accelerator for supplying a Thomson back scattering based Gamma source. Furthermore, at MESA, the polarization of the electron beam can be set by the injector. The aim of this work is to provide a concept and comprehensive analysis of the merit and practical feasibility of a Thomson backscattering source at MESA under consideration of beam polarization and transversal effects. In this paper, the first results of our semi analytical approach to calculate various Thomson back scattering light source scenarios including polarization effects at MESA will be presented.
