Title: Development of a picosecond CO2 laser system for a high-repetition γ-source

Journal Article · · Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering
OSTI ID:1034029

The concept of a high-repetition-rate, high-average power {gamma}-source is based on Compton backscattering from the relativistic electron beam inside a picosecond CO{sub 2} laser cavity. Proof-of-principle experiments combined with computer simulations allow evaluating the promise of this approach for novel applications in science and technology.
