Abstract
Laser Compton photon beams generated by a high-energy electron storage ring have energy in the gamma-ray range. X-ray radiography for industrial products using the laser Compton photon beam is expected to show good spatial and density resolutions, because of its monochromaticity and good beam property. A radiography and computerized tomography system was built using AIST's TERAS electron storage ring. The performance of the system was examined. A summary of the development process is outlined, which includes the processes of market survey and target setting, scenario planning, and integration of technologies. In conclusion, a general methodology for the translational research was discussed.
