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 …

Generation of circularly polarized (CP) and linearly polarized (LP) γ rays via the single-shot
interaction of an ultraintense laser pulse with a spin-polarized counterpropagating …

The generation of highly polarized high-energy brilliant γ-rays via laser–plasma interaction
is investigated in the quantum radiation-reaction regime. We employ a quantum …

A Thomson scattering X-ray source can provide quasi-monochromatic, continuously energy-
tunable, polarization-controllable and high-brightness X-rays, which makes it an excellent …

Intense, quasi-monochromatic, polarized γ-ray beams with high and tunable energy
produced by Compton scattering of laser photons against relativistic electrons are used for …

We study the possibility of producing x-gamma rays with orbital angular momentum by
means of the inverse Compton backscattering between a high brightness electron beam and …

We revisit the description of inverse Compton scattering sources and the photon beams
generated therein, emphasizing the behavior of their phase space density distributions and …

The production of high-quality electron bunches in Laser Wake Field Acceleration relies on
the possibility to inject ultra-low emittance bunches in the plasma wave. In this paper, we …

Photon sources based on inverse Compton scattering, namely, the interaction between
relativistic electrons and laser photons, are emerging as quasimonochromatic energy …

An inverse Compton scattering source is under development at the ELSA linac of CEA,
Bruyères-le-Châtel. Ultra-short X-ray pulses are produced by inverse Compton scattering of …
