AB - We show that the properties of the electron beam and bright X-rays producedby a laser wakefield accelerator can be predicted if the distance over whichthe laser self-focuses and compresses prior to self-injection is taken intoaccount. A model based on oscillations of the beam inside a plasma bubble showsthat performance is optimised when the plasma length is matched to the laserdepletion length. With a 200~TW laser pulse this results in an X-ray beam withmedian photon energy of 20 keV, $> 10^{9}$ photons per shot and a peakbrightness of $4 \times 10^{23}$ photons s$^{-1}$ mrad$^{-2}$ mm$^{-2}$ (0.1 %BW)$^{-1}$.
