title: Current Status of the VU MFEL Compton X-Ray Program.
abstract: The Vanderbilt University medical FEL (free electron laser) Compton x-ray program is close to being operational. The FEL modifications necessary for this new capability are near completion. The transport and detection systems for electron and IR beams have been designed, delivered, and tested. We initially expect to produce 108 x-ray photons per second in the 15- to 20-keV region.
