Overview of Canadian Accelerators | |
|
||
MeV class accelerators were introduced in Canada in 1947 with the commissioning of the world’s first microtron producing 4.6 MeV electrons. Through the early years a variety of machines were realized driven by, primarily, sub-atomic physics science pursuits. Two main centres of accelerator activity have emerged in Canada; at TRIUMF in Vancouver and CLS in Saskatoon. A number of smaller accelerators dot the country for medical and other applications. Industrial companies have formed to supply accelerators or accelerator sub-systems. The talk will give a brief historical overview of accelerator development in Canada, describe the present status and provide an overview of future initiatives. | ||

Commissioning of ThomX Compton Light Source | |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the French "Agence Nationale de la Recherche" as part of the program "investing in the future" under reference ANR-10-EQPX-51 and by grants from Région Ile-de-France ThomX is a compact Compton scattering source designed to demonstrate the production of hard X-rays with a flux of 1011-1013 ph/s. The 50 MeV electron beam has been recently injected and stored in the 18~m circumference storage ring and interaction with the 100 kW laser in the Fabry-Perot cavity is foreseen for 2023, for the production of the first X-rays. Commissioning results and beam instrumentation will be presented. |
