Quasi-Monoenergetic Photon Source Based on Electron-Positron In-Flight Annihilation

Conference · · Conf.Proc.C
OSTI ID:2520549
We study electron-positron in-flight annihilation as a potential source of quasi-monoenergetic photon (or gamma-ray) beams. A high-intensity tunable-energy (1.5- 15 MeV) gamma source has many potential uses in medical, industrial and security applications. Several electron-positron collision geometries are considered: a) head-on; b) collinear; and c) positron beam incident on a fixed electron target. We analyze advantages of each of the geometries in order to optimize parameters of the generated gamma-ray beams.
