Abstract
The Gamma Factory (GF) is an ambitious proposal, currently explored within
the CERN Physics Beyond Colliders program, for a source of photons with
energies up to $\approx 400\,$MeV and photon fluxes (up to $\approx 10^{17}$
photons per second) exceeding those of the currently available gamma sources by
orders of magnitude. The high-energy (secondary) photons are produced via
resonant scattering of the primary laser photons by highly relativistic
partially-stripped ions circulating in the accelerator. The secondary photons
are emitted in a narrow cone and the energy of the beam can be monochromatized,
eventually down to the $\approx1$ ppm level, via collimation, at the expense of
the photon flux. This paper surveys the new opportunities that may be afforded
by the GF in nuclear physics and related fields.
