  2. The ThomX Project Compact source of hard X-rays (40 – 90 keV) Flux of up 1013 photons / sec, generated by Compton Back Scattering (CBS : collisions between e- bunches and laser pulses  ωdif ~ 4γ2ωlaser) - Medical sciences (imaging + therapy) - Cultural heritage sciences (Louvre Museum, for instance) Applications Compactness for accommodation in hospitals and museums Funding of 12 M€ for Phase 1 : building of a prototype  feasibility proof  Phase 2 : industrialization Work supported by the EQUIPEX program from the Research Ministry, Région Ile de France, CNRS-IN2P3 and University of Paris-Sud Contributions from LAL-Orsay CNRS-IN2P3, SOLEIL, CELIA Bordeaux, ESRF, C2RMF-CNRS, UDIL CNRS, INSERM Grenoble, Thales TED, Institute Neel Grenoble LAL-Orsay & SOLEIL in charge of the accelerator complex, housed inside the former DCI building on the university site in Orsay (~ 5 km from SOLEIL)

  3. ThomX accelerator complex SR optics : 4-fold symmetry Double Bend Achromat FP optical cavity Interaction Region 7 m 10 m Injection of a single e- bunch (20 mA), which collides at each turn with laser pulses at the IP, inside the FP optical resonator  X rays from CBS CBS  fast degradation of the e- beam quality  storage for ~ 20 ms  Injection rate of 50 Hz (after 20 ms, extraction to BD & new injection)

  5. RF system of the Storage Ring

  6. Selected RF frequency  500 MHz Good compromise • VRF = 500 kV  1 single cell cavity  PRF (dis) ~ 35 kW • Availability of power sources & other RF components • Reasonable equipment size • Zhom will dictate the choice of cavity design SR RF parameters • At 50 MeV, DUrad ~ 2 eV / turn  Pbeam ( Ib = 20 mA ) ~ 0 • No power to be delivered to the beam (s = 0) • RF system only generates VRF for suitable longit. acceptance

  7. HOM impedances and instability thresholds DU rad ~ 0  t damping ( ~ 1 s ) >> t storage ( ~ 20 ms ) To preserve the beam quality  Instability growth time, ti > 20 ms Longitudinal HOM in resonance, til = 2 Qs E/e / (a IoRsfm) Rs . fm (HOM) natural : 0.1 - 1 M . GHz til ~ 10 µs !! Transverse HOM in resonance, tit = 2 E/e / (bTfrevIoRT) RT (HOM) natural : 1 - 10 M / m tit ~ 10 µs !! In both, longitudinal and transverse cases, damping of Zhom by a few 103 is required !! (more critical than in 3rd generation LS  x 10)

  8. Cures to HOM impedances 1) De-Qing of the HOM (HOM couplers)  a few 102 - 103  Not enough & cumbersome equipment around the cavity PEP-2 cavity (LBNL) « DAMPY » cavity - ALBA
