DEVELOPMENT OF PULSED SOFT X-RAY SOURCE AT WASEDA UNIVERSITY

摘要

We have been developing pulsed soft X-ray source using inverse Compton scattering between an electron beam and a pulsed IR laser light at Waseda University. The electron beam is accelerated by a laser driven photo-cathode rf gun system up to 5 MeV. The IR laser light for the Compton scattering and UV laser light for irradiation of the photo-cathode in the rf gun are generated from an all solid state Nd:YLF laser system. We will generate soft X-rays with various energies by changing collision angles.
