Abstract
A new plasma channel undulator concept based on the wakefields generated by short intense laser pulse undergoing centroid oscillations inside parabolic plasma channel is presented. The period of such an undulator is proportional to the Rayleigh length of the laser pulse and can be in the submillimeter range, while its strength can reach unity. Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of the laser pulse propagation and wakefields are presented. Spontaneous radiation produced by the electron beam inside the plasma undulator is calculated.
