Optically controlled laser–plasma electron accelerator for compact gamma-ray sources
Generating quasi-monochromatic, femtosecond γ -ray pulses via Thomson scattering (TS) demands exceptional electron beam (e-beam) quality, such as percent-scale energy spread and five-dimensional brightness over 10 ^16 A m ^–2 . We show that near-GeV e-beams with these metrics can be accelerated in a...
