Most muon production mechanisms at nuclear particle facilities use protons on targets. At the EIC, there is an alternative, namely the possibility to use the high energy electron beam to backscatter laser photons onto targets to produce the muons. We describe this mechanism for the EIC electron kinematic regime and possible applications of the muons produced. In addition, we provide an...

This presentation will review the current state of the art of laser technology, spanning the extremes of both ultrafast and high power, that have the potential to be used laser based accelerator technology.

21. Accelerator-driven Compton gamma-ray source: High Intensity Gamma-ray Source

Prof. Ying Wu (Duke University)

A nearly monochromatic, polarized gamma-ray beam is a powerful tool
for nuclear physics research, ranging from collective motions to
strong interactions between nucleons, and to the dynamics of quarks and gluons.
Laser-driven Compton gamma-ray sources have been developed and operated
worldwide since the late 1970s. The High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS)
at the Triangle...

5. Gamma-Factory@CERN - status and perspectives

Mieczyslaw Witold Krasny (Mieczyslaw.Witold.Krasny@cern.ch)

In this talk, I shall present the status of the Gamma Factory studies. I shall briefly summarise the potential applications of the Gamma Factory tools in many branches of science, discuss the accelerator and laser system requirements, and present the status of the Gamma Factory proof-of-principle SPS experiment preparations.
