Radially Polarized, Half-Cycle, Attosecond Pulses from Laser Wakefields through Coherent Synchrotron Radiation

F. Y. Li, Z. M. Sheng, M. Chen +4

Attosecond bursts of coherent synchrotron-like radiation are found when driving ultrathin relativistic electron disks in a quasi-one-dimensional regime of wakefield acceleration, i…
