Description

X-rays have extensive applications in biomedical research, physics, and materials science. The Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWFA) is one of the methods capable of generating X-rays, featuring the advantage of a small footprint. This makes it more convenient for laboratories, hospitals, and other facilities to observe structures such as crystals, drugs, and proteins. The experiment uses the NCU 100TW laser system and LWFA to generate Betatron radiation. The study investigated the intensity variation of Betatron radiation brightness corresponding to electron injection under a tilted shock front. Current results indicate that X-ray photons exhibit varying degrees of enhancement at shock-front tilt angles of 3.8 and 17.1 degrees, with increases of 30% and 140%, respectively.
