Description
RadiaBeam is building an Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) source with a complex Interaction Region to increase interaction efficiency. By colliding an infrared laser head-on with a tunable 60-100 MeV electron beam, up to 200 KeV photons are produced. This is done with a setup consisting of the final focus and re-capture system, an interaction chamber, an infrared (IR) laser beam delivery system, and a dump dipole. The vacuum chambers are constructed with a central cube at the interaction point (IP) flanked by symmetric laser-injection cubes. The IR interaction laser is injected downstream of the IP and exits the vacuum envelope upstream of the IP. Multiple optical transition radiation (OTR) foils allow for tuning the electron beam for the 10-micron beam size. Alignment at the IP relies on OTR radiators and scraping pinholes.
