Abstract
Relativistic electrons accelerated by laser wakefields can produce x-ray beams from their motion in plasma termed betatron oscillations. Detailed spectral characterization is presented in which the amplitude of the betatron oscillations is studied by numerical analysis of electron and x-ray spectra measured simultaneously. We find that reaches as low as in agreement with previous studies of radiation based on coherence and far-field spatial profile.
