Abstract

We globally optimize a terawatt-laser-driven wakefield accelerator by systematically varying laser and target parameters to achieve 100 MeV electrons, 10% energy spread, 100 pC charge, 4 mrad divergence and 10 mrad pointing fluctuation with similar to 100% reproducibility, thereby meeting conditions for producing similar to 10(6) 200 keV X-ray photons/pulse by inverse Compton scatter.
