Abstract :
Laser-Compton scattering with picosecond CO2 laser pulses is proposed for generation of high-brightness X-rays. The interaction chamber has been developed and the experiment is scheduled for the generation of the X-rays of 4.7 keV, 107 photons in 10-ps pulse width using 50-MeV, 0.5-nC relativistic electron bunches and 6 GW CO2 laser
