Project description
Intensive gamma-ray light sources based on bent crystal arrangements
The EU-funded TECHNO-CLS project plans to produce innovative gamma-ray light sources operating at photon energies from 100 keV up to the GeV range. The breakthrough research will investigate the processes underpinning the exposure of oriented crystals to high-energy electron and positron beams at the atomic scale. TECHNO-CLS will build on the success of previous testing of the idea of the crystalline undulator, namely a periodically bent crystal in which channelled electrons or positrons follow the bending of the crystalline plane. Light sources based on oriented crystals of different geometries could generate intensive radiation with wavelength orders of magnitudes less than 1 angstrom. Intensive radiation at wavelengths below this threshold cannot be achieved with technologies based on magnetic fields.
Objective
TECHNO-CLS project at the breakthrough in technologies needed for designing and practical realisation of novel gamma-ray Light Sources (LS) operating at photon energies from ~100 keV up to GeV range that can be constructed through exposure of oriented crystals (linear, bent and periodically bent) to the beams of ultrarelativistic charged particles. The TECHNO-CLS high-risk/high-gain science-towards-technology breakthrough research programme will address the physics of the processes accompanying the oriented crystal exposure to irradiation by the high-energy electron and positron beams at the atomistic level of detail needed for the realisation of the TECHNO-CLS goals. A broad interdisciplinary, international collaboration has been created previously in the frame of FP7 and H2020 projects, which performed initial experimental tests to demonstrate the crystalline undulator (CU) idea, production and characterisation of periodically bent crystals and the related theory. TECHNO-CLS aims to build the high-risk/high-gain science-towards-technology breakthrough research programme on these successful studies aiming at a practical realisation of the novel gamma-ray LSs such as CUs, crystalline synchrotron radiation emitters, and many others. Additionally, by means of a pre-bunched beam a CU LS has a potential to generate coherent superrradiant radiation with wavelengths orders of magnitudes less than 1 Angstrom, i.e. within the range that cannot be reached in existing LSs based on magnetic undulators. Such LSs will have many applications in the basic sciences including nuclear and solid-state physics and the life sciences. Theoretical, computational, experimental and technological results obtained in the course of this project will pave a way for key technological developments of the LSs and their wide exploitation. The TECHNO-CLS international collaboration possesses all the necessary expertise to conduct successfully the outlined programme.
