Electron beam characterization through K-edge filtering of laser Compton-scattered x rays

A novel method of measuring an electron beam’s energy spectrum and divergence using Compton-scattered x rays created by colliding a laser with an electron beam has been developed and tested using the compact laser-Compton x-ray source at LLNL. The method only requires an x-ray imaging device and a f...
