PC just threw away a long response. Will teach me to save as I go, as 
I tell everyone they ought to do, and as I usually do.

SO

Read / skim this interesting document and report back on what you 
think about the world's "light sources", including "Diamond", which at 
3 GeV ring energy and 100 keV plus "light" energy is 'right up there'.

Extremely good introduction / overview to the development and current 
state of the art for generation of gamma rays, xrays and other types 
of very short wavelength light.
