G. Dattoli et al., COMPTON BACKSCATTERING OF INTRACAVITY STORAGE-RING FREE-ELECTRON LASER-RADIATION, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 375(1-3), 1996, pp. 543-544
We discuss the gamma-ray production by Compton backscattering of intra
cavity SR FEL radiation. We use a semi-analytical model which provides
the build up of the signal combined with the storage ring damping mec
hanism and derive simple relations yielding the connection between bac
kscattered photons brightness and the intercavity laser equilibrium in
tensity.
