High power $$gamma$$-ray source from laser irradiated solid target

Nakamura, Tatsufumi; Koga, J. K.; Esirkepov, T. Z.; Kando, Masaki; Korn, G.*; Bulanov, S. V.

New source of high power $$gamma$$-rays driven by laser pulse is proposed. For the laser pulse with intensity higher than roughly 10$$^{22}$$ W/cm$$^2$$, the radiation reaction effect working on accelerated electrons play an important role. In this case, the energy lost by radiation reaction leads to photon energy of $$gamma$$-ray regime. We showed that the generated $$gamma$$-rays have features such as high power, short duration, and collimation, which is considered as a new source of laser-driven $$gamma$$-rays.
