This book discusses possibilities and perspectives for designing
and practical realization of novel intensive gamma-ray
crystal-based light sources that can be constructed through
exposure of oriented crystals—linear, bent and periodically bent,
to beams of ultrarelativistic positrons and electrons. The book
shows case studies like the tunable light sources based on
periodically bent crystals that can be designed with the
state-of-the-art beam facilities. A special focus is given to the
analysis of generation of the gamma rays because the current
technologies based on particle motion in the magnetic field become
inefficient or incapable to achieve the desired gamma rays’
intensities. It is demonstrated that the intensity of radiation
from crystal-based light sources can be made comparable to or even
higher than what is achievable in conventional synchrotrons and
undulators operating although in the much lower photon energy
range. By exploring the coherence effects, the intensity can be
boosted by orders of magnitude. The practical realization of such
novel light sources will lead to the significant technological
breakthroughs and societal impacts similar to those created earlier
by the developments of lasers, synchrotrons and X-rays
free-electron lasers. Readers learn about the underlying
fundamental physics and familiarize with the theoretical,
experimental and technological advances made during last two
decades in exploring various features of investigations into
crystal-based light sources. This research draws upon knowledge
from many research fields, such as material science, beam physics,
physics of radiation, solid-state physics and acoustics, to name
but a few. The authors provide a useful introduction in this
emerging field to a broad readership of researchers and scientists
with various backgrounds and, accordingly, make the book as
self-contained as possible.
