Summary
The possibility of the creation and the application prospects of the laser-electron X-ray generator based on the Thompson scattering of the laser radiation on a bunch of relativistic electrons are considered. Such a generator fills the existing gap between X-ray tubes and synchrotron sources, which is several orders of magnitude in terms of the brightness, average intensity, size and also in the construction and exploitation costs. The layout of beam-lines and experimental stations intended for the applications of the X-ray laser-electron generator to the investigation of the elemental composition and material structure and biological objects is discussed.
