Synchrotron radiation from laser-electron interactions: Measurement and modeling
by Semenov, Vladimir Alexandrovich, M.S., SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY, 2009, 68 pages; 1463365

Abstract:

Synchrotron radiation emitted by electrons due to laser-plasma interactions is an important tool in researching those interactions. The features of this radiation can provide insights into electrons' collective and individual behavior. The basic theory of single electron motion due to a laser pulse is reviewed. Further, the radiation emitted by a collection of the electrons is modeled. The experimental set-up for the detection of this radiation is presented, and the results are compared to a theoretical model.
