Demonstration Scheme for a Laser-Plasma-Driven Free-Electron Laser

Laser-plasma accelerators are prominent candidates for driving next-generation compact light sources, promising high-brightness, few-femtosecond x-ray pulses intrinsically synchronized to an optical laser, and thus are ideally suited for pump-probe experiments with femtosecond resolution. So far, th...
