Abstract
We study the optimal lay-out and RF frequency for a room temperature GeV-class Electron Linac aimed at producing electron beams suitable for Compton backscattering based gamma-ray sources. These emerging technology of generating tunable, bright, mono-chromatic photon beams in the range 5-20 MeV for nuclear physics and nuclear engineering, relies on high quality electron beams, and J-class high rep-rate synchronized laser systems, to achieve the maximum spectral density of the gamma-ray beam (# photons/sec/eV). The best RF band among the most used in RF linacs (S, C, X) will be identified and discussed.
