DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Valentina Ferretti WORKSHOP SECRETARIAT (INFN Labora
 tori Nazionali di Frascati)\, Luca Serafini (INFN Milano)\, Massimo Carpin
 elli (Università di Sassari and INFN Cagliari)\n\nSynchronized high brigh
 tness electron beams and high intensity lasers have become more and more a
 vailable during the last decade\, opening new possibilities for the genera
 tion of X and g ray beams. And stimulating scientists at several laborator
 ies worldwide to conceive\, design and operate Compton Sources for high fl
 ux generation of X and g Rays with unprecedented characteristics of brilli
 ance\, tunability\, high monochromaticity and rapidity\, with radiation pu
 lses in the psec to fsec duration range and fluxes of 1011 photons/sec and
  higher\, within a narrow bandwidth. It is worth to remind that these radi
 ation sources have been a relevant subject in all the ICFA workshop of the
  series “The physics and applications of high brightness electron beams
 ”\,  since the first held in 1999 at UCLA\, as they are capable of harde
 r photon production than other sources like FEL’s or synchrotron light s
 ources\, hence they are candidates not only for X-ray sources\, but also f
 or high-energy physics applications (e.g. production of polarized positron
  beams for e+/e- colliders). However\, Compton Sources are playing an incr
 easingly critical role for advanced applications in frontier fields like r
 adiological imaging\, material studies\, national security\, mainly due to
  their unique properties\, which\, in turns\, represent also a great chall
 enge to the detection and analysis apparatus. For this reason we feel that
  it’s time to gather the two communities of potential users and source d
 esigners within the frame a dedicated meeting: the goal of this workshop w
 ill be therefore to provide a comparative study of the generation\, manipu
 lation\, modeling and measuring of high peak/average flux photon beams by 
 Compton Sources\, as well as the underlying methods linking the physics of
  these beam systems to the physics of  their advanced applications.\n\nhtt
