Abstract We propose generation of narrow-bandwidth GeV photons, gamma-rays, via Compton scattering of hard X-ray photons in X-ray free-electron laser oscillators. The gamma-rays have a narrow-bandwidth spectrum with a sharp peak, ~0.1% (FWHM), due to the nature of Compton scattering in relativistic regime. Such gamma-rays will be a unique probe for studying hadron physics. We discuss features of the gamma-ray source, flux, spectrum, polarization, tunability and energy resolution.
