Compton recoil effects in staging of laser wakefield accelerators

Laser plasma accelerators capable of generating >10  GeV electron beams may require plasma mirrors to remove undepleted laser energy at the end of each accelerator stage. Near the plasma mirror surface, the electron bunch can interact with the reflected light, resulting in inverse Compton scatter...
