TI - Investigation of Polarization Dependent Thomson Scattering in an Energy-Recovering Linear Accelerator on the Example of Mesa J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - At the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) in Mainz, a new accelerator is currently under construction in order to deliver electron beams of up to 155 MeV to two experiments. The Mainz Energy-recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) will offer two modes of operation, one of which is an energy-recovering (ER) mode. 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. The aim of this work is to provide a concept and comprehensive analysis of the merit and practical feasibility of a Thomson backscattering source at MESA under consideration of beam polarization and transversal effects. In this paper, an overview and results of our semi analytical approach to calculate various Thomson back scattering light source scenarios at MESA will be given. Furthermore we will discuss the benefits of using polarized electrons in combination with a polarized laser beam.
