Bright X-ray Pulse Generation by Laser Thomson-Backscattering and Traveling Wave Optical Undulators


Bright X-ray Pulse Generation by Laser Thomson-Backscattering and Traveling Wave Optical Undulators

Schramm, U.; Bussmann, M.; Couperus, J. P.; Cowan, T.; Debus, A.; Irman, A.; Jochmann, A.; Pausch, R.; Sauerbrey, R.; Steiniger, K.

Measured Thomson-backscattering X-ray spectra recorded as a function of the observation angle and quantitatively reproduced in simulations are presented. A traveling wave scheme is proposed to increase the yield and may allow for all-optical free-electron laser operation.

Keywords: Thomson scattering; laser plasma acceleration; optical undulators
