Description

ThomX is a demonstrator of Compact Compton Source. In 2024 they reported a flux of 10^10 x-rays/s and significant improvement have been made to the machine after that improvement. The first user runs have taken place at the beginning of 2025,so there will be interesting results to report in 2026.
