Production of tens-of-MeV Compton gamma-rays from a 2 GeV laser-plasma electron accelerator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We generate a collimated (<1mrad) beam of gamma rays that penetrate several centimeters of lead by retro-reflecting a petawatt laser pulse onto trailing ~2 GeV electrons with a plasma mirror after driving a laser-plasma accelerator.
