A Laser Wakefield Accelerator producing two distinct electron populations: a 2 GeV component that was self-injected early in the interaction, and a sub-GeV component injected close to the laser depletion length, was shown to be an intense source of betatron x-rays. The x-rays were predominantly generated by the sub-GeV bunch.
Simultaneous measurements of the electron and x-ray spectra...
