Description
Narrow-bandwidth, high-brilliance, tunable, MeV-class, x-ray sources fundamentally enable nuclear spectroscopy and applications in ways that are not possible with existing bremsstrahlung based emitters.
This presentation will review the motivation for creation of such sources based on laser-Compton scattering, outline how a distributed charge Compton scattering (DCCS) architecture can optimize performance for nuclear photonics, and review recent record results from the compact, DCCS source which has been constructed in Irvine, California.
