Model-independent inference of laser intensity

An ultrarelativistic electron beam passing through an intense laser pulse emits radiation around its direction of propagation into a characteristic angular profile. Here, we show that measurement of the variances of this profile in the planes parallel and perpendicular to the laser polarization, and...
