| Abstract |
The light source and accelerator physics research program at Duke Free-Electron Laser Laboratory (DFELL), TUNL, is focused on the development of the storage ring based free-electron lasers (FELs), and a state-of-the-art Compton gamma-ray source, the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS) which is driven by the storage ring FEL. With a maximum total flux about 3·10¹⁰ gamma/s and a spectral flux of more than 1,000 gamma/s/eV around 10 MeV, the HIGS is the world's most intense Compton gamma-ray source. Operated in the energy range from 1 to 100 MeV, the HIGS is a premier Compton gamma-ray facility in the world for a variety of nuclear physics research programs, both fundamental and applied. In this paper, we will describe our ongoing light source development to produce gamma-ray beams in the higher energy range of 100 and 158 MeV. We will also provide a summary of our recent accelerator physics and FEL physics research activities.
