This regime of propagation ensures the acceleration of electrons with an extremely large total charge (at a level of several tens of nanocoulombs) to gigaelectronvolt energies, which determines the very high brightness of synchrotron radiation. On the basis of the calculation of retarded potentials, we study the space\u2013time and spectral\u2013angular characteristics of secondary gamma radiation. It is shown that laser pulses from the XCELS facility will make it possible to generate directed secondary radiation with photon energies up to 10 MeV (and higher) and a brightness exceeding 10<sup>23<\/sup> photons\u00b7s<sup>\u20131<\/sup>\u00b7mm<sup>\u20132<\/sup>\u00b7mrad<sup>\u20132<\/sup> (at \u0394\u03bb\/\u03bb = 0.1 %), which turns out to be greater than the brightness of the bremsstrahlung gamma source for the same laser parameters.
