The Merit of a Thomson backscattering based Gamma Source at MESA. — •Christoph Lorey1 and Atoosa Meseck1,2 — 1Johannes Gutenberg Universität, Mainz, Germany — 2Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, Berlin, Germany
The Mainz Energy-recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA), currently under construction at the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) in Mainz, will offer two modes of operation, one of which is an energy-recovering (ER) mode in order to deliver electron beams of up to 155 MeV to two experiments. As an ERL, MESA, with it's high brightness electron beam, is a promising accelerator for supplying a Thomson back scattering based Gamma source. Furthermore, at MESA, the polarization of the electron beam can be set by the injector. We will present the first results of our performance studies for a Thomson backscattering based gamma source at MESA. Different polarization scenarios will be discussed considering a selection of laser and MESA configurations.
