Description
Laser-driven Compton backscattering (CBS) has been proposed as method for controlling the intensity of colliding bunches in the FCC-ee so as to avoid the flip-flop instability. Laser-based collimation has also been proposed as an indestructible collimator for high-intensity electron beams, which could significantly reduce the length of a Linear Collider Beam Delivery System. We have initiated a laboratory-based test of these concepts with the E344 experiment at FACET-II. We describe the proposed experiment at FACET-II.
