Emission and its back-reaction accompanying electron motion in relativistically strong and QED-strong pulsed laser fields
arXiv:1003.0806 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.81.036412
Abstract
The emission from an electron in the field of a relativistically strong laser pulse is analyzed. At pulse intensities of J > 2 10^22 W/cm2 the emission from counter-propagating electrons is modified by the effects of Quantum ElectroDynamics (QED), as long as the electron energy is sufficiently high: E > 1 GeV. The radiation force experienced by an electron is for the first time derived from the QED principles and its applicability range is extended towards the QED-strong fields.
