Bright x-ray radiation from plasma bubbles in an evolving laser wakefield accelerator
We show that the properties of the electron beam and bright x rays produced by a laser wakefield accelerator can be predicted if the distance over which the laser self-focuses and compresses prior to self-injection is taken into account. A model based on oscillations of the beam inside a plasma bubb...
