Extreme focusing of high power x-ray lasers to relativistic intensity with a concave plasma lens
The intensity of present x-ray lasers is still far from relativistic due to equipment damage by the powerful radiation involved in the generation process. We propose to use a microscopic concave plasma lens to tightly focus terawatt x-ray pulses to relativistic intensity by avoiding the destructive...
