abstract = {Even though bright X-rays below mega-electron volt photon
energy can be obtained from X-ray free electron lasers and
synchrotron radiation facilities, it remains a great
challenge to generate collimated bright gamma-ray beams over
10 mega-electron volts. We propose a scheme to efficiently
generate such beams from submicron wires irradiated by
petawatt lasers, where electron accelerating and wiggling
are achieved simultaneously. With significant quantum
electrodynamics effects existing even with petawatt lasers,
our full 3D simulations show that directional gamma rays can
be generated with thousand-fold higher brilliance and
thousand-fold higher photon energy than those from
synchrotron radiation facilities. In addition, the photon
yield efficiency approaches $10\%,$ 100,000-fold higher than
those typical from betatron radiation and Compton scattering
based on laser-wakefield accelerators.},
