Nonlinear coherent Thomson scattering from relativistic electron sheets as a means to produce isolated ultrabright attosecond x-ray pulses
A new way to generate intense attosecond x-ray pulses is discussed. It relies on coherent Thomson scattering (CTS) from relativistic electron sheets. A double layer technique is used to generate planar solid-density sheets of monochromatic high-γ electrons with zero transverse momentum such that coh...
