Coherent γ-ray Generation By Partially Stripped Ion Beams
Nicola Piovella, Gordon R. M Robb
We describe a scheme for generation of coherent -rays by backscattering intense visible laser light from a beam of partially stripped ions. The scheme is similar in principle to…
Comment on `On quantum effects in spontaneous emission by a relativistic electron beam in an undulator' by G. Geloni, V. Kocharyan and E. Saldin (arXiv:1202.0691)
G. R. M. Robb, R. Bonifacio
In arXiv:1202.0691, Geloni et al. criticise our recent work describing the spontaneous emission by a relativistic, undulating electron beam. In particular they claim that our predi…
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,…
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…
