The Radiation Source Elbe at the Research Center Rossendorf

  • Chapter
Electron-Photon Interaction in Dense Media

Abstract

At the Forschungszentrum Rossendorf (FZR) the new facility ELBE for research with various kinds of radiation is presently under construction. ELBE is centered around a superconducting Electron Linac which will produce quasi-continuous beams of high Brilliance and low Emittance. Preliminary results of the first stage accelerator tests will be shown. The 40 MeV / 1 raA electron beam will be used to drive free-electron lasers for the production of infrared light in the 5–150 μm wavelength range. X-ray beams in the 5–50 keV energy range will be generated using channeling radiation. Additionally, the ELBE facility will provide bremsstrahlung and photoneutron beams for investigations in nuclear physics and technology.
