This paper present the design study of a system to measure the electron beam energy in an accelerator . The method of Compton scattering between the laser photons and the relativistic electrons was used. By knowing the backscattered photon energy, the electron beam energy can be deduced. The scattering mechanism between the laser photons and the relativistic electrons was well known. The optical system for the laser light was designed to match the laser beam and the electron beam in order to enhance the backscattered photon flux. The implementation of the system in the electron beam transport line in SRRC and the optimization method were studied. A pulsed CO2 laser with high peak power was chosen to produce 3MeV backscattered photons that will be detected with a high purity germanium detector(HPGe). The reason of using HPGe and the pridected results was presented. Under this study, 0.2% energy measurement accuracy was expected.
