31. Plasma Accelerators as a source of fs X-rays for probing Matter Under Extreme Conditions

Stuart Mangles (Imperial College London)

The betatron oscillations of the electron beam inside a laser wakefield accelerator have been shown to produce bright X-rays with some unique properties: namely they are both broadband and have a femtosecond duration. In this talk I will outline future applications that will use these unique properties to perform time resolved X-ray spectroscopy of matter under extreme conditions.

32. LWFA gamma source applications

I will briefly review the requirements for gamma ray sources generated with a LWFA for a variety of applications.

33. Inverse Compton scattering from plasma wakefield acceleratedbeams

Generation of hard photon pulses from inverse Compton scattering with plasma wakefield accelerated electron beams is presented. The high beam quality in terms of energy spread and divergence ensures low radiation bandwidth on the order of a few percent within fs-scale pulses. This scheme gets extended to decoupled and yet synchronized multicolor radiation pulses that enable unique control of...
