MariX is a research infrastructure conceived for multi-disciplinary studies, based on a cutting-
edge system of combined electron accelerators at the forefront of the world-wide scenario of …

There is a strong demand for small foot-print high-flux hard X-rays machines in order to
enable a large variety of science activities and serve a multidisciplinary user community. For …

There is a large performance gap between conventional, electron-impact X-ray sources and
synchrotron radiation sources. An Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) source can bridge this …

It has been long recognized that dual-energy imaging could help to enhance the
detectability of lesions in diagnostic radiology, by removing the contrast of surrounding …

The exceptional improvement of high power lasers and optical cavity finesses in the last
fifteen years allows today the development of X-ray sources based on inverse Compton …

While K-edge subtraction (KES) imaging is a commonly applied technique at synchrotron
sources, the application of this imaging method in clinical imaging is limited although results …

Many research and application areas demand photon sources capable of producing quasi-
monochromatic X-ray beams in the multi-keV energy range with reasonably high fluxes and …

Compton based photon sources have generated much interest since the rapid advance in
laser and accelerator technologies has allowed envisaging their utilisation for ultra-compact …

In this paper, we present the generalities of the Compton interaction process; we analyse the
different paradigms of Inverse Compton Sources, implemented or in commissioning phase …

We present a conceptual design for a compact X-ray Source BriXS (Bright and compact X-
ray Source). BriXS, the first stage of the Marix project, is an Inverse Compton Source (ICS) of …
