Backscattering of an intense laser beam by an electron.

چکیده
We present a novel, simple asymptotic expansion for the spectrum of radiation that is backscattered from a laser by a counterpropagating (or copropagating) electron. The solutions are presented in such a way that they explicitly show the relative merit of using an intense laser and of an energetic electron beam in x-ray production in the single particle regime. Simple scaling laws are given.

Laser-Electron Storage Ring as a Compact Source of High-Intensity X-rays
Recent progress in high power laser development has attracted a growing interest in generating x-rays by Compton (or Thomson) backscattering an intense laser pulse off a high energy electron beam [1,2]. If λ L is the laser wavelength, γ is the electron energy in units of its rest mass mec , and θ is the angle of the scattered x-ray photon with respect to the direction of the electron trajectory...
متن کاملAn Intense γ-ray Beam Line of 10 MeV Order Based on Compton Backscattering
Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source, a γ-ray beam line of 10MeV order was proposed recently. The beam line is expected to generate γ-ray with maximum energy of 22MeV by backward Compton scattering between CO2 laser and electron in the 3.5GeV storage ring of future Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The flux of non-collimated γ-ray can be 10 ∼ 10 s if a commercial CO2 laser of 100W order ...
متن کاملLaser-Electron Storage Ring
A compact laser-electron storage ring (LESR) is proposed for electron beam cooling or x-ray generation. The LESR uses an intense laser pulse stored in a highnesse resonator to interact repetitively with a circulating electron beam in the energy range from a few MeV to a few hundred MeV. The rapid damping caused by laser-electron interaction counterbalances the intrabeam scattering e ect, thus a...
متن کاملMicro-channels over the glass surface made by interaction of Ar+ laser beam and Ag+/Na+ ion-exchanged glasses
Micro-channels are made over the Ag+/Na+ ion-exchanged soda-lime glass surface by interaction of an intense Ar+ laser beam and the silver ions inside the glass matrix. The Ar+ laser beam reduces the Ag+ ions inside the matrix. The Ag+ atoms aggregate into silver nano-clusters around the interaction area, inside the glass matrix. Aggregation of the silver atoms and the thermal effects of the int...

One of the interesting Laser-Plasma phenomena, when the laser power is high and ultra intense, is the generation of large amplitude plasma waves (Wakefield) and electron acceleration. An intense electromagnetic laser pulse can create plasma oscillations through the action of the nonlinear pondermotive force. electrons trapped in the wake can be accelerated to high energies, more than 1 TW. Of t...
