Investigation of a Thomson scattering based gamma source at MESA — •Christoph Lorey — Johannes Gutenberg Universität, Mainz, Germany

At the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) in Mainz, the Mainz Energy-recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA), designed to deliver electron beams of up to 155 MeV, is currently under construction. As it can be operated in an energy-recovery (ER) mode with high repetition rate, it is a promising candidate for a Thomson scattering based gamma source of which a low interaction cross section is one of the key features. With MESA as the exemplary subject, this presentation will give a short summary of the challenges and benefits of a Thomson scattering based gamma source and a description of future tasks as well as potential realization concepts for the future beyond.
