A novel scheme is proposed for generating highly brilliant betatronlike radiation using a two-stage plasma configuration, whereby relativistic electrons interact with frequency-downshifted laser pulses to transfer more energy, potentially finding diverse applications.
Electrons can be accelerated to GeV energies with high collimation via laser wakefield acceleration in the bubble regime and emit bright betatron radiation in a table-top size. However, the radiation brightness is usually limited to the third-generation synchrotron radiation facilities operating at similar photon energies. Using a two-stage plasma configuration, we propose a novel scheme for generating betatronlike radiation with an extremely high brilliance. In this scheme, the relativistic electrons inside the bubble injected from the first stage can catch up with the frequency-downshifted laser pulse formed in the second stage. The laser red shift originates from the phase modulation, together with the group velocity dispersion, which enables more energy to be transfered from the laser pulse to gamma-photons, giving rise to ultra-brilliant betatronlike radiation. Multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations indicate that the radiated gamma-photons have the cut-off energy of GeV and a peak brilliance of 10(26) photons s(-1) mm(-2) mrad(-2) per 0.1%BW at 1 MeV, which may have diverse applications in various fields.
