| Modern laser-plasma simulations are able to model complex plasma processes. However, since particle movements within a plasma are not directly accessible to experiments, there is interest to compare experimental results with Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations. One way to accomplish this task is to simulate the electro-magnetic emissions from both relativistic and sub-relativistic plasma electrons. Therefore, unique spectral signatures need to be identified and linked to a variety of physical processes in laser-plasma interactions, such as wave-breaking or betatron radiation. Here we present a newly developed software for spectral analyses of different laser-plasma phenomena. It is based on electron trajectories simulated at the HZDR and allows for calculating the radiation in all directions of the solid angle as well as resolving spectra in time. Moreover it was developed with a view to work directly with the PIC code on parallel hardware while still be generally applicable. |
