Abstract
We described here the new way of production of ≤ 100 fs bursts of X and gamma radiation by Compton back-scattering of a laser bunch which have been swept along the electron trajectory. In the method described the time duration of the secondary radiation does not depend on electron bunch length and is shorter than duration of the primary laser bunch by factor 1/NR-the number of resolved spots of sweeping device (up to 1/ 1000). The method of the laser bunch sweeping is also helpful in obtaining short electron bunches from a photo cathode.
