Abstract

Recently there has been considerable interest in the Thomson scattering of intense laser from relativistic electron beams, and a new kind of x-ray source named laser synchrotron source (LSS) has been discussed based on this mechanism which is expected to have extremely good performances. In order to verify this theory, an experiment is going to be carried out by our group using a frequency-doubled yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser and a 25 MeV electron beam generated by the accelerator in the Applied Department of the Institute of High-Energy Physics. In this article some theoretical results have been calculated for this experiment, including the scattered x-ray's wavelength and intensity distribution. The results at 180° and 90° have been given and the 180° result should be very close to the experimental geometry of 178.5°. In Sec. III, figures of the spatial distribution of x-ray are drawn. The future of LSS is prospected finally in Sec. IV.
