Innovative ICS-based photon sources capable of producing X-ray beams in the multi-keV energy range with reasonably high fluxes and compact footprints have gained interest in the past decade thanks to impressive progress in laser technology allowing to overcome performance limitations deriving from the low Thomson cross section. We introduce the ICS-based Compact source BoCXS conceived to produce tunable energy X-ray beams with flux and monochromaticity characteristics comparable to those available at large Synchrotron light sources in a compact layout compatible with Clinics and Universities. Application fields include condensed matter research, non-destructive tests in electro-motive industry, cultural heritage science and advanced imaging techniques providing increased resolution in biomedical diagnostics.

Abstract
Innovative ICS-based photon sources capable of producing X-ray beams in the multi-keV energy range with reasonably high fluxes and compact footprints have gained interest in the past decade thanks to impressive progress in laser technology allowing to overcome performance limitations deriving from the low Thomson cross section. We introduce the ICS-based Compact source BoCXS conceived to produce tunable energy X-ray beams with flux and monochromaticity characteristics comparable to those available at large Synchrotron light sources in a compact layout compatible with Clinics and Universities. Application fields include condensed matter research, non-destructive tests in electro-motive industry, cultural heritage science and advanced imaging techniques providing increased resolution in biomedical diagnostics.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
