Compact Storage Ring for an X-Ray Source

Abstract

We propose a new design of a compact storage ring for a source of X-ray radiation on the basis of reverse Thomson scattering of laser radiation by electrons with the energy of 35–50 MeV, which has small number of optical elements and a significant clear space for the placement of a beam injection-extraction system and a RF cavity. The original laser cavity layout has been considered. The ring dynamic aperture after correction of chromaticity and a second-order dispersion function is sufficient for the injection and stable circulation of an electron bunch in the ring.
