Description
Relativistic electrons colliding with an intense laser pulse will produce scattered photons through the non-linear Compton scattering (NLCS) process. Self-guided multi-GeV electrons that are accelerated in a gas jet interact at a small collision angle with the self-reflecting intense laser pulse. We describe recent PW-class experiments using a self-reflecting scheme to generate a bright and compact radiation source.
