An all-optical inverse Compton gamma-ray source is enable us to make a tabletop monochromatic gamma-ray source that might be applied to measure an amount of nuclear material, etc. An intense laser pulse excites a very nonlinear plasma wave and accelerate electron bunch up to several-hundreds MeV within a length of a few millimeters. The key to success is stabilization of the laser-plasma accelerators. We are developing the artificial injection technique of initial electrons in to the plasma wave and guiding of the intense laser pulse by the preformed plasma channel. |
