Quantum effects in spontaneous emission by a relativistic, undulating electron beam

G. R. M. Robb, R. Bonifacio

Current models of the effect of spontaneous emission on the electron beam dynamics neglect the discreteness of electron recoil associated with photon emission. We present a novel,…

A Quantum Fluid Description of the Free Electron Laser

R. Bonifacio, N. Piovella, G. R. M Robb +1

Using the Madelung transformation we show that in a quantum Free Electron Laser (QFEL) the beam obeys the equations of a quantum fluid in which the potential is the classical poten…

Parametric optimization for an x-ray Free Electron Laser with a laser wiggler

R. Bonifacio, N. Piovella, M. M. Cola

In this paper we optimize the experimental parameters to operate a Free Electron Laser with a laser wiggler in the Angstrom region. We show that the quantum regime of the Self Ampl…

Quantum theory of SASE FEL

R. Bonifacio, N. Piovella, G. R. M. Robb

We describe a free-electron laser (FEL) in the Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) regime quantizing the electron motion and taking into account propagation effects. We demo…

The Semiclassical and Quantum Regimes of Superradiant Light Scattering from a Bose-Einstein Condensate

G. R. M. Robb, N. Piovella, R. Bonifacio

We show that many features of the recent experiments of Schneble et al. [D. Schneble, Y. Torii, M. Boyd, E.W. Streed, D.E. Pritchard and W. Ketterle, Science vol. 300, p. 475 (2003…
