The basis for the application of Thomson scattering to the analysis of coronagraph images has been laid decades ago.Even though the basic formulation is undebated, a discussion has grown in recent years about the spatial distribution of…

We measure the emission of energetic electrons from the interaction between ultrashort laser pulses and a solid density plasma in the relativistic regime. We detect an electron beam that only appears with few-cycle pulses (< 10 fs) and…
High-brilliance high-polarization $\gamma$ rays based on Compton scattering are of great significance in broad areas, such as nuclear, high-energy, astro-physics, etc. However, the transfer mechanism of spin angular momentum in the…
We show that under appropriate conditions the impact of a very short and intense laser pulse onto a plasma causes the expulsion of surface electrons with high energy in the direction opposite to the one of propagation of the pulse. This is…
We develop an analytical model for ultraintense attosecond pulse emission in the highly relativistic laser-plasma interaction. In this model, the attosecond pulse is emitted by a strongly compressed electron layer around the instant when…

We discuss the scattering of a light pulse by a single atom in free space using a purely semi-classical framework. The atom is treated as a linear elastic scatterer allowing to treat each spectral component of the incident pulse separately.…

We study the electron scatter from the freely movable spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle in the presence of a linearly polarized laser field in the first Born approximation. The dressed state of electrons is described by a time-dependent wave…
Relativistic interaction of short-pulse lasers with underdense plasmas has recently led to the emergence of a novel generation of femtosecond x-ray sources. Based on radiation from electrons accelerated in plasma, these sources have the…
The density distribution of flare loops and the mechanisms of their emission in the continuum are still open questions. On September 10, 2017 a prominent loop system appeared during the gradual phase of an X8.2 flare (SOL2017-09-10),…
We show that for collisions of electrons with a high-intensity laser, discrete photon emissions introduce a transverse beam spread which is distinct from that due to classical (or beam shape) effects. Via numerical simulations, we show that…
