Description

The most brilliant x-ray beams are provided by large national synchrotron facilities, but their cost, physical size, remote location, access policies, or other fundamental aspects can limit or preclude certain applications. I will describe the characteristics of the most promising compact technology, inverse Compton scattering, and give examples of critically important opportunities that require compact sources.
