Coherent Thomson backscattering from laser-driven relativistic ultra-thin electron layers
The generation of laser-driven dense relativistic electron layers from ultra-thin foils and their use for coherent Thomson backscattering is discussed, applying analytic theory and one-dimensional particlein-cell simulation. The blow-out regime is explored in which all foil electrons are separated from ions by direct laser action. The electrons follow the light wave close to its leading front. ...
متن کاملCorrections to Laser Electron Thomson Scattering
Thomson scattering is the classical process of light being deflected by a charged obstacle of typical size smaller than the wavelength of the incident radiation. For definiteness we will henceforth assume the charge to be an electron and the incoming wave stemming from a laser beam. The scattered radiation may be viewed as resulting from a two-step process: (i) the acceleration of the charge du...
متن کاملThomson scattering of coherent diffraction radiation by an electron bunch.
This paper considers the process of Thomson scattering of coherent diffraction radiation (CDR) produced by the preceding electron bunch in the accelerator onto one of the subsequent bunches. It is shown that the yield of scattered hard photons is proportional to N(3)(e), where N(e) is the number of electrons per bunch. A geometry is chosen for the CDR generation and an expression is obtained fo...
متن کاملPulsed-laser nonlinear Thomson scattering for general scattering geometries.
In a recent paper it has been shown that single electron Thomson backscatter calculations can be performed including the effects of pulsed high intensity lasers. In this paper we present a more detailed treatment of the problem and present results for more general scattering geometries. In particular, we present new results for 90 degrees Thomson scattering. Such geometries have been increasing...
متن کاملHigh-harmonic generation in plasmas from relativistic laser-electron scattering
Results are presented on the generation of high harmonics through the scattering of relativistic electrons from high-intensity laser light. The characteristic signatures of this process are found to be the emission of evenorder harmonics, linear dependence on the electron density, significant amount of harmonics with circular polarization, and small spatial extent of the source. The harmonics a...
