Coherence-based transverse measurement of synchrotron x-ray radiation from relativistic laser-plasma interaction and of laser-accelerated electrons

Fresnel diffraction of x-ray beam from laser-plasma interaction shows incoherent-source diameter¿8 ¿m. Analysis shows this corresponds to accelerated electron profile in plasma agreeing with simulation.
