A nonlinear plasma retroreflector for single pulse Compton backscattering

A nonlinear plasma retroreflector for single pulse Compton backscattering

Compton scattered x-rays can be generated using a configuration consisting of a single ultrashort laser pulse and a shaped gas target. Upon ionization the gas target serves as a plasma mirror that reflects the incident pulse providing a counter-propagating electromagnetic wiggler. While plasma mirro...
