The top-performing X-ray and gamma ray sources are synchrotrons and Free Electron Lasers, which require large investment. Consequently, more affordable and accessible platforms are required for research and applications based on X-rays and gamma rays. CBS is a subset of Thomson and Compton scattering and is the mechanism through which high energy electrons interacting with low energy photons transfer part of their energy to the photons. Accordingly, an infrared photon can e.g. be transformed into an X-ray or gamma ray, in a CBS process. Monochromatic and ultrashort X-ray and gamma ray sources are challenging to make; however, CBS provides a compact and accessible platform for this purpose.
