Abstract
The development of intense, short-wavelength FEL light sources has ope ned opportunities for new applications of high-energy Compton-backscat tered photons. These applications range from medical imaging with X-ra ys to high energy physics with photon colliders. In this paper we disc uss the practical aspects applications using polarized Compton backsca ttered gamma-rays in the 5-150 MeV range from the Duke storage-ring-dr iven FEL. Such applications include: nuclear physics, cancer therapy, radiographic imaging, radiation effects testing, and positron producti on for material science studies.
