LATTICE OF NSC KIPT COMPACT INTENSE X-RAY GENERATOR NESTOR

The new generation of the intense X-rays sources based on low energy electron storage ring and Compton scattering (CS) of laser beam allows to produce X-rays with intensity up to 10 14 phot/s. There are two basic problems in laser-electron storage rings (LESR) design. The first one is associated with strong effect of the intrabeam scattering at low electron beam energy. Because of this effect the beam size grows quickly and CS intensity decreases. The second problem is associated with large electron beam energy spread because of fluctuation of Compton generation. The value of the energy spread may run up to few percents and one needs to keep electron beam during long term in order to achieve the high Compton beam intensity. The paper is devoted to the description of lattice of NSC KIPT Compact Intense X-ray generator NESTOR and the main principles are background for the LESR lattice design.
