G. Dattoli et al., COMPTON BACKSCATTERING OF INTRACAVITY STORAGE-RING FREE-ELECTRON LASER-RADIATION, Journal of applied physics, 79(2), 1996, pp. 570-572
We discuss the gamma-ray production by Compton backscattering of intra
cavity storage ring free-electron laser radiation. We use a semi-analy
tical model which provides the buildup of the signal combined with the
storage ring damping mechanism and derive simple relations yielding t
he connection between backscattered photons, brightness and the interc
avity laser equilibrium intensity. (C) 1996 American Institute of Phys
