Bragg scattering induced laser deflection and electron injection in x-ray laser driven wakefield acceleration in crystals

Propagation of intense ultrashort x-ray laser pulse in a metal crystal and its effects on x-ray laser-driven wakefield acceleration are theoretically and numerically investigated with particle-in-cell simulations, where the bound electron effects are included. New features of laser pulse dissipation...
