Abstract

Using numerical 2D-PIC simulations, the generation of X-rays during the interaction of an oncoming laser wave with a relativistic electron mirror formed by a powerful accelerating laser pulse from a plasma layer is investigated. The structure of the radiated field in the far zone is investigated, the spectral density of the radiation field and the angular distribution of the pulse energy are found. Changing the parameters of the accelerating and counter waves allows one to control the characteristics of the radiation.
