Upcoming and planned experiments combining increasingly intense lasers and energetic
particle beams will access new regimes of nonlinear, relativistic, quantum effects. This …

In this paper, we present the generalities of the Compton interaction process; we analyse the
different paradigms of Inverse Compton Sources, implemented or in commissioning phase …

Time-resolved investigation of electron dynamics relies on the generation of isolated
attosecond pulses in the (soft) X-ray regime. Thomson scattering is a source of high energy …

High-energy radiation can be generated by colliding a relativistic electron bunch with a high-
intensity laser pulse—a process known as Thomson scattering. In the nonlinear regime the …

Compact laser plasma accelerators generate high-energy electron beams with increasing
quality. When used in inverse Compton backscattering, however, the relatively large …

X-ray source based on the Thomson scattering of laser interacting with energetic electron
beams features high photon energy, small spot size, and good collimation. However, the …

A compact, high-energy, tunable, ultra-short pulse duration, narrowband X-ray source with
high brilliance could unlock novel developments in a wide range of scientific and medical X …

High energy radiation is an important tool for many fields of research as it allows for the
measurement of smaller structures and atomic interactions. The current best method of …

Thomson/Compton scattering is a method to produce high energy photons through the
collision of low energy photons in a laser pulse onto relativistic electrons. In the linear …
