Description
The Very-compact Inverse Compton gamma source (VIGAS) is underconstructing in Tsinghua University in Beijing. It is based on a 350-MeV electron linac and to generate up to 4.8MeV photon by head-on interaction between the electron bunch and the laser pulse. The accelerator consists of S-band photo-injector and X-band main linac. The six 630-mm-long x-band accelerating structures will provide 80MV/m accelerating gradient to boost the electron beam energy from 50MeV to 350MeV. This talk will present the recent progress of the project.
