Compact x-ray source based on burst-mode inverse Compton scattering at 100 kHz by Bessuille, J., Brown, P., Carbajo, S., Dolgashev, Valery A., Lin, H., Murari, K., Resta, G., Tantawi, S., Zapata, L. E., Graves, William S., Hong, Kyung-Han, Ihloff, Ernest E., Khaykovich, Boris, Nanni, Emilio Alessandro, Kaertner, Franz X., Moncton, David E.

“…At a photon energy of 12.4 keV, the predicted x-ray flux is 5×10[superscript 11]  photons/second in a 5% bandwidth and the brilliance is 2 × 10[superscript 12]  photons/(sec mm[superscript 2] mrad[superscript 2]  0.1%) in pulses with rms pulse length of 490 fs. The nominal electron beam parameters are 18 MeV kinetic energy, 10 microamp average current, 0.5 microsecond macropulse length, resulting in average electron beam power of 180 W. …”
