7 December 2006R&D on high energy photonics at the intense last irradiation laboratory
Novel sources of energetic photons are currently studied and developed at the Intense Laser Irradiation Laboratory of
Pisa. They include: i) X-rays generated by plasmas produced with nanosecond and picosecond laser pulses. This kind of
source has been recently optimised in terms of intensity, repetition rate, monochromaticity, which allowed novel
techniques to be successfully tested as micro-radiography and differential mapping of tracing elements. ii) K-a X-ray
emission of short duration due to the collision of energetic electrons generated during ultra-short femtosecond laser-solid
interactions. iii) Monochromatic and ultra-short X-rays pulses generated via Thomson scattering of intense sub-
picosecond pulses by relativistic electron bunches are currently being studied theoretically also with the aid of numerical
codes. Electron bunches produced by both conventional beamlines and laser acceleration of electrons in plasmas are
considered.
