Radiation from Electron - Laser Pulse Collisions — •Michael Quin, Antonino Di Piazza, Christoph H. Keitel, and Matteo Tamburini — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, D-69117 Heidelberg, Germany

The collision of relativistic electrons with a laser pulse can potentially generate short pulses of X-rays, capable of tracking molecular, atomic and sub-atomic dynamics. We consider how the spectrum and angular distribution of radiation emitted varies with the initial position and momentum of electrons colliding with a plane wave pulse, in the domain of Classical Electrodynamics. This informs how we can customise the radiation spectrum, which can be verified with simulations involving a focused laser pulse and realistic electron distribution.
