Abstract

Measurement of X-rays produced in nonlinear Thomson scattering of high power laser and electron beams is a good test of electrodynamics in the high field region. We performed an experiment of head-on collision between sub-terawatt CO₂ laser and 60-MeV electron beams at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Accelerator Test Facility. Angular distributions of X-rays produced in Thomson scattering were measured and contribution of the second order nonlinear interaction was observed by comparing the distributions with Monte Carlo simulations based on the semi-classical theory of photon-electron interactions.
