ACCELERATION OF ELECTRONS USING INVERSE ANOMALOUS SCATTERING

Abstract

Acceleration of electrons in the field of two electromagnetic waves propagating in a slowing down medium in the direction of motion of electrons is considered under conditions when one of the waves propagates with a phase velocity greater than the velocity of electrons, and the other with a phase velocity less than the velocity of electrons. Taking into account deceleration by radiation, we determine dependence of the electron energy on the coordinate along the direction of acceleration. Thus, we obtain the expression for the maximum electron energy and effective acceleration length.
