Description

Radiations from a single electron irradiated by an ultra-intense laser pulse were extensively investigated by a numerical simulation. The characteristics of the radiation such as spectral distribution, radiation intensity, and angular distribution show that the relativistic nonlinear Thomson scattering, or Larmor radiation could be a good ultrashort radiation source toward x-ray region. The effect of ions which generates Bremsstrahlung radiation degrading the characteristics of Larmor radiation is also discussed
