Liu6, P. He6, and D.

A 600 MW CO2 laser interacted in a head-on collision with a 60 MeV, 140 A, 3.5 ps electron beam. Both beams were focused to a σ = 32 μm spot. Our next plan is to demonstrate 1010 x-ray photons per pulse using a CO2 laser of ∼1 TW peak power. ©2000 The American Physical Society
