Abstract ThomX is a new generation compact Compton source. The machine is composed of a 50/70 MeV injector linac and a storage ring where an electron bunch collides with a laser pulse accumulated in a Fabry-Perot resonator. The compact source, built at Irene Joliot-Curie Laboratory (IJCLAB) in the Orsay campus of Paris-Saclay University, is designed to produce a total flux of 10¹³ ph/s and a brightness of 1011 ph / (s.mm2.mrad2) in 0.1% of bandwidth with a tunable energy ranging from 45 keV to 90 keV on the X-ray beam axis. The photo-injector is composed of a homemade 2.5 cell photocathode RF-gun, placed between two solenoids. An energy of 5 MeV is reached with a 80 MV/m electric field gradient. During the commissioning phase, a 4.8 m S-band LIL section will be used to achieve a 50 MeV corresponding to a 45 keV X-ray energy. The LIL accelerating section is a quasi-constant gradient traveling wave structure. The energy gain in the section is 45 MeV, corresponding to an average effective accelerating gradient of 10 MV/m for an input RF power of 9 MW. Here we present the electromagnetic and beam dynamics studies of the ThomX LINAC.
