Compton Backscattering X-ray Source for National Research Nuclear University MEPhI

The project of a compact X-ray source based on Compton backscattering for the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI is discussed. The end-to-end simulation of beam dynamics in linac and a storage ring including collective effects makes it possible to identify the main features of such a facility and outline approaches to overcome longitudinal and transverse instabilities and minimize bunch size at the beam-laser interaction region. Feedback is proposed to mitigate the effect of instabilities and injection jitter in position and angle.
