Comparison of X-ray sources on the basis of bremsstrahlung and parametric radiations
The comparative analysis of the X-ray tube and source on the basis of parametric X-ray radiation has been carried out. The parametric X-ray radiation intensity of source on the basis of compact linear accelerator with beam energy of 6 MeV and current of 100 ?A is compared with intensity of ordinary X-ray tube. The performance of slow change of parametric X-ray line energy in a wide range from 6 to 130 keV with line width of about 300 eV may provide the good contrast of received image and decreases the radiation dos

Electron (positron) beam polarization by Compton scattering on circularly polarized laser photons
In a number of papers an attractive method of laser polarization of electrons
(positrons) at storage rings or linear colliders has been proposed. We show
that these suggestions are incorrect and based on errors in simulation of
multiple Compton scattering and in calculation of the Compton spin-flip cross
sections. We argue that the equilibrium polarization in this method is zero.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, talk at 9-th Intern. Workshop on Linear Colliders

Experimental Determination of the Characteristics of a Positron Source Using Channeling
Numerical simulations and `proof of principle' experiments showed clearly the
interest of using crystals as photon generators dedicated to intense positron
sources for linear colliders. An experimental investigation, using a 10 GeV
secondary electron beam, of the SPS-CERN, impinging on an axially oriented
thick tungsten crystal, has been prepared and operated between May and August
2000. After a short recall on the main features of positron sources using
channeling in oriented crystals, the experimental set-up is described. A
particular emphasis is put on the positron detector made of a drift chamber,
partially immersed in a magnetic field. The enhancement in photon and positron
production in the aligned crystal have been observed in the energy range 5 to
40 GeV, for the incident electrons, in crystals of 4 and 8 mm as in an hybrid
target. The first results concerning this experiment are presented hereafter.Comment: 3 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Linac200
