Abstract

Enhancement of betatron X-ray radiation produced in laser–plasma accelerators has previously been achieved by increasing the transverse oscillation amplitude of accelerated electrons in a tilted-shock traversal. This article reports on a simultaneous analysis of the properties of the betatron radiation and the trajectories of the relativistic electrons. The correlations of their parameters indicate new opportunities for improving betatron sources.
