Ponderomotively driven plasma wake will follow this centroid given that the product of the plasma wave number and the characteristic Rayleigh length of the laser is much larger than one. This oscillating transverse wakefield may work as an undulator forcing particles to follow sinusoidal trajectories and emit synchrotron radiation. In this paper, plans for an experiment are introduced and resulting radiation and injected beam characteristics are discussed. The aforementioned laser centroid oscillations are demonstrated using, EPOCH, a PIC code for laser-plasma interactions.
