Highly polarised gamma photons from electron-laser collisions

We detail a method to produce a GeV-photon source with polarisation degree exceeding 91% and 78% (corresponding to a 96% and 89% fraction of the photons) for linear and circular polarised photons respectively and with a brilliance of the order of 1021photons/(smm2mrad20.1%BW). Using currently availa...
