On November 3rd, 2022, Professor Chris Barty gave an invited talk titled “Extremely Brilliant Compton Sources and Potential Applications” at the 26th International Conference on the Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry (CAARI) in Denton, Texas. In his talk, he discussed the activities at Lumitron Technologies in Irvine, California to create next generation extremely brilliant Compton sources (EBCSs) via novel Compton scattering architectures based on x-band linear accelerator and ultrahigh repetition rate laser technology. He proposed that compared to the latest generation of synchrotron radiation sources that operate with lower emittance electron beams, EBCSs are poised to create similar if not higher brilliance outputs but with compact footprints of only a few meters. He also discussed potential medical and industrial applications of EBCS technology.
Professor Barty is the Chief Technical Officer, a co-founder, and an Executive Director of Lumitron Technologies.
