The E-310 experiment at the Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests II (FACET-II) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory aims to demonstrate the creation of high brightness beams from a plasma photocathode. Betatron radiation will be measured by a Compton spectrometer, currently under development at UCLA, to provide single-shot, nondestructive beam diagnostics. We give a brief overview of this spectrometer as well as double differential spectrum reconstruction from the spectrometer image and beam parameter reconstruction from this double differential spectrum. We discuss three models for betatron radiation: an idealized particle tracking code which computes radiation from Liénard-Wiechert potentials, a quasi-static particle-in-cell (PIC) code which computes radiation from Liénard-Wiechert potentials, and a full PIC code which computes radiation using a Monte Carlo QED method. Spectra computed by the three models for a simple case are compared.
