Abstract

The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a third-generation synchrotron radiation light source and will come into commission in April 2009. The project Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source (SLEGS), which is a high intensity γ-ray beamline based on Laser Compton Scattering (LCS) between relativistic electron bunches and a laser, has been proposed at the SSRF. According to our simulations, the SLEGS is expected to generate a polarized γ-ray beam of up to 22 MeV and 109–10 photons/s if using 3.5 GeV, 200–300 mA relativistic electrons and a 500 W CO2 polarized laser. Here we describe the status and the application prospects of SLEGS and its developed prototype.
