Design and optimization of a highly efficient optical multipass system for γ-ray beam production from electron laser beam Compton scattering

A new kind of nonresonant optical recirculator, dedicated to the production of γ rays by means of Compton backscattering, is described. This novel instrument, inspired by optical multipass systems, has its design focused on high flux and very small spectral bandwidth of the γ-ray beam. It has been d...
