A novel ultrafast and intense keV X-ray source from laser-plasma interactions

Abstract

We have produced polychromatic x-ray radiation by linear and non-linear Thomson scattering of an intense femtosecond laser on relativistic electrons accelerated in a helium plasma. The principle is the following. When relativistic electrons are submitted to a strong femtosecond laser pulse they experience strong accelerations and emit a femtosecond burst of nonlinear Thomson scattering radiation. This was demonstrated in the
