Demonstration of the ultrafast nature of laser produced betatron radiation

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: This Letter aims to demonstrate the ultrafast nature of laser produced betatron radiation and its potential for application experiments.An upper estimate of the betatron x-ray pulse duration has been obtained by performing a time-resolved x-ray diffraction experiment: The ultrafast nonthermal melting of a semiconductor crystal ͑InSb͒ has been used to trigger the betatron x-ray beam diffracted from the surface.An x-ray pulse duration of less than 1 ps at full width half-maximum ͑FWHM͒ has been measured with a best fit obtained for 100 fs FWHM.
