Free Electron laser (Courtesy of Bob Hartman)

I learned yesterday that the Free Electron Laser Facility at Duke Univ. has an electron accelerator with which they can generate a Compton back-scattered gamma beam over the range 5-55 MeV. Gottfried Kanbach plans to take a prototype of MEGA (a 0.5-30 MeV Compton telescope) there late this year. I have no other information, but the facility has a web site at: www.fel.duke.edu
