Enhancement of betatron x rays through asymmetric laser wakefield generated in transverse density gradients
Laser wakefield acceleration of electrons usually offers an axisymmetry around the laser propagation axis. Thus, the accelerating electrons that are focused on axis often execute small transverse oscillations. In this article, we propose a simple scheme to break this symmetry, which enhances the tra...
