Since the first idea to use intense laser pulse to generate collective electron motion suitable for electrons acceleration, many new ideas have been proposed and have been successfully demonstrated. The tremendous progresses that have been done over the world these recent years show the vitality of a new and growing community at the interface of accelerator, plasma and laser sciences. These...

Three physical regimes of Compton Sources based on back-scattering of high power lasers by relativistic high brightness electron beams will be discussed. Electron recoil is the key quantity: X-ray Thomson sources are characterized by negligible recoil and can be described classically as synchrotron radiation sources. Compton sources for nuclear photonics are characterized by a small electron...

High brightness electron sources have been one of the driving forces (probably the main) behind the spectacular results achieved in the last decade by some accelerator-based applications. Indeed, x-Ray FELs, with their 10-fold order of magnitude increase in peak brightness, probably represent the best example of it. New ambitious proposals for x-ray FELs and ERLs, as well as inverse Compton...
