Abstract

We report results of a novel, non-destructive, and single-shot technique to measure the quality of laser-wakefield-accelerated electron beams. The technique is based on spectroscopic imaging of inverse-Compton-scattered x-rays. Record-low transverse electron-beam emittance was measured: 0.15(±0.06)p-mm-mrad.
