Abstract When a laser pulse with focused intensity exceeding 1018W/cm² interacts with a solid target, electrons in the focal spot are accelerated to relativistic velocity and where they generate inner-shell vacancies and hard x-ray(>10 keV) spectral line and Bremsstrahlung radiation. In laser plasma interactions, the resonance between betatron motion of electrons and ultraintense laser pulses is an interesting phenomenon in both electron acceleration and gamma photon production. Even though the gamma-ray synchrotron is micron scale, the energy ranges from ~1 MeV to ~102MeV. To detect the energy of the gamma-ray accurately is particularly significant. Owing to a lot of various energy of gamma-ray are emitted in femtosecond scale, which are impossible distinguished from each other on the time. A small freon-filled bubble chamber is being built to measure the energy spectrum of high-energy photons. After that, we can calculate the electron’s energy and then offer the data for various of electron acceleration theories. It combines a good spatial resolution with a large depth of field, allowing a large number of tracks. This improves the statistical quality of the photon spectrum.
