Abstract
In using the inverse Compton scattering (ICS) interaction as a high brilliance, short wavelength radiation source, one collides two beams, one an intense laser, and the other a high charge, short pulse electron beam. In order to maximize the flux of photons from ICS, one must focus both beams strongly, which implies both use of short beams and the existence of large angles in the interaction. One aspect of brilliance is the narrowness of the wavelength band emitted by the source. This paper explores the limits of ICS‐based source brilliance based on inherent wavelength broadening effects that arise due to focal angles, laser energy density, and finite laser pulse length effects. It is shown that for a nominal 1% desired bandwidth, that one obtains approximately one scattered photon per electron in a head‐on collision geometry.
