Compton imaging and proton therapy techniques represent a dynamic interface between advanced imaging physics and cutting-edge cancer treatments. Compton imaging utilises the scattering properties of ...

A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser.

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

An incident plane-wave laser is tuned by a diffractive optical part like grating or prism, and then being transformed into a tilted pulse laser. This tilted pulse is then focused by a sOAP mirror. A ...
