We discuss the production of x rays from relativistic electron beams using synchrotron radiation, free electron lasers, and Compton backscattering of intense laser beams. We review the characteristics, and compare the flux and brightness, of x rays produced from these three processes. We show that free electron lasers can produce coherent x ray pulses in the keV region with a brightness much larger than that of synchrotron radiation facilities, and that in the 10-keV region Compton backscattering systems can be competitive with synchrotron radiation. We describe some of the existing or planned free electron lasers and Compton backscattering facilities.
我们讨论了利用同步加速器辐射、自由电子激光和强激光束的康普顿背散射来产生相对论电子束的 X 射线。我们回顾了这三个过程产生的 X 射线的特性，并比较了它们的通量和亮度。我们表明，自由电子激光可以在 keV 区域产生相干 X 射线脉冲，其亮度远大于同步加速器辐射设施，而在 10keV 区域，康普顿背散射系统可以与同步加速器辐射竞争。我们描述了一些现有的或计划中的自由电子激光和康普顿背散射设施。
