Submillimeter-resolution radiography of shielded structures with laser-accelerated electron beams

We investigate the use of energetic electron beams for high-resolution radiography of flaws embedded in thick solid objects. A bright, monoenergetic electron beam (with energy >100  MeV) was generated by the process of laser-wakefield acceleration through the interaction of 50-TW, 30-fs laser pul...
