Abstract

X-ray generation by Thomson scattering between a picosecond electron beam and a subpicosecond Ti:Sappire laser beam was experimentally performed in 90° and head-on interactions. The scattered X-rays were theoretically analyzed as 2.3 keV photon energy with 520 to 270 fs (rms) pulse duration for the 90° interaction and 4.6 keV for the head-on interaction. The scattered X-rays were measured by a micro-channel plate, and the X-ray photons were counted. The observed X-rays had 1.4× 10⁴ photons/pulse with 25% stability for the 90° interaction and l×l0^s photons/pulse with 11% stability for the head-on interaction.
