“…The development of compact laser-driven wakefield accelerators (LWFA) [18] provides a well-suited alternative, since it allows GeV electron beams to be generated directly at high power laser laboratories capable of achieving field strengths of a 0 ≫ 1 [19][20][21]. The plausibility of such an experimental approach is evidenced by the observation of nonlinearities in Compton scattering in previous experimental campaigns [22][23][24], motivating the study reported here.…”

“…Several methods have been proposed and implemented to characterize laser intensities, which include the use of multiple tunneling ionization of high Z atoms with high ionization potentials [28][29][30], nonlinear Compton scattering [31,32], and temporally resolved intensity contouring based on a chirped probing scheme [33]. The first method involves the time-of-flight (TOF) detection of multiple ion species produced in the focus of a laser interacting with very low density gases.…”

“…Several schemes have been proposed to produce compact γ-rays based on laser-plasma interactions, including laser-driven bremsstrahlung radiation [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and Compton (or Thomson) scattering [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. For a laser-driven bremsstrahlung source, where a high-energy electron beam, accelerated in the wakefield induced by an ultrashort and intense laser pulse as it propagates in an underdense plasma, impinges on a target composed of high atomic number (Z) materials, very high-energy (up to 100 MeV) gamma photons can be generated [13][14][15].…”

“…So far the peak brilliance of the γ-ray source (∼10 17 photons s mm mrad 0.1% BW 2 2 ) achieved in this scheme, however, is still low and the conversion efficiency (less than 10 −3 ) is limited by a small cross section although it can be further optimized [16]. The Compton (or Thomson) scattering, based on the collision between a laser-wakefield accelerated electron beam and another counter-propagating laser pulse [17][18][19][20][21][22] or a reflected laser pulse by a plasma mirror [23][24][25][26], has been considered a promising scheme for the production of high-energy high-brilliance γ-rays, since it exploits the double-Doppler upshift of the laser photon energy by relativistic electrons. In this scheme, multi-MeV γ-rays with high peak brilliance (∼10 22 photons s mm mrad 0.1% BW 2 2 ) have already been produced experimentally [26].…”
