The necessity for compact table-top x-ray sources with higher brightness, shorter wavelength and shorter pulse duration has led to the development of complementary sources based on laser-plasma accelerators, in contrast to conventional…

The morphology of the extended $\gamma$-ray source is governed by the propagation process of parent relativistic particles. In this paper, we investigate the surface brightness radial profile of extended $\gamma$-ray sources illuminated by…
