Laser-Compton backscattering can provide a quasi-monochromatic highly polarized X-ray to γ-ray beam without strongly affecting the electron beam due to the small recoil and the small Compton cross-section. Highest energies of the scattered photons are obtained for photon-scattering angles of \ang{180}, i. e., backscattering. A project at TU Darmstadt foresees to synchronize a highly repetitive high-power laser with the Superconducting DArmstadt electron LINear ACcelerator S\hbox{-}DALINAC, capable of running in energy recovery mode * to realize a laser-Compton backscattering source with photon beam energy up to §I{180}{\kilo\electronvolt}. The source will be first used as a diagnostic tool for determining and monitoring key electron-parameters, in particular energy and the energy spread at the S\hbox{-}DALINAC operation. Results are foreseen to be used for optimizing the design of laser-Compton backscattering sources at energy-recovery linacs.}}, }
