Abstract :
Time-domain investigation of formation of the laser-betatron radiation was carried out within the framework of a simple (toy) model of a two-component modulated line source current describing rectilinear propagation of the electron bunch perturbed by transverse oscillation in the co-propagating wakefield. Such an approach yields sufficiently general one-integral solution for the space-time structure of the emanated wave.
