Planned high-brightness channeling radiation experiment at FERMILAB’s Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator

In this contribution we describe the technical details and experimental setup toward the production of high-brightness channeling radiation (CR) at the Fermilab’s Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA). In the ASTA photoinjector area electrons are accelerated up to 40-MeV and focused to a sub-micron spot on a 40 micron thick diamond, the electrons channel through the crystal and emit CR up to 80-KeV. Our study utilizes ASTA’s long pulse train capabilities and ability to preserve ultra-low emittance, to produce the desired brightness.
