Abstract

We proposed the Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray (TTX) source as an ultra-fast, high flux source for advanced X-ray imaging studies and applications. A linac system, which consists of an S-band photocathode RF gun, a SLAC type 3 m traveling wave tube and two X-band structures, generates ultra-short, high brightness electron pulses to scatter with tera-watt femto-second laser pulses. A compact low energy electron storage ring is also designed to dramatically enhance the average X-ray flux. In this paper, we present the simulation studies and optimized parameters of the electron and X-ray pulses. The construction and commissioning status of TTX is also reported.
