Laser-Polarization Dependence of Betatron X-Ray Production and Angular Collection in Laser-Wakefield Acceleration
Laser polarization affects both the production of betatron x rays and their angular distribution, which together determine the photon yield collected within a fixed angular acceptance. We investigate these effects using particle-in-cell simulations of laser-wakefield acceleration with linearly polarized (LP) and circul...
