Abstract

A high-brilliance ( $\sim10^{24}$ ~photon.s $^{-1}$ .mm $^{-2}$ .mrd $^{-2}$ /0.1\%) gamma-ray source experiment is currently being planned at Fermilab ( $E_\gamma\simeq 1.1$ ~MeV)~[1]. The source implements a high-repetition-rate inverse Compton scattering by colliding electron bunches formed in a 300-MeV superconducting linac with a high-intensity laser pulse. This paper describes the design rationale along with some of technical challenges associated to producing high-repetition-rate collision. The expected performances of the gamma-ray source are also presented.
