Interaction of Relativistic Particles and Free Electromagnetic Waves in the Presence of a Static Helical Magnet
Abstract
It is shown that a particle passing along the axis of a helical magnet (in which the field is perpendicular to the axis and rotating as a function of position along the magnet) can be continuously accelerated by its interaction with circularly polarized radiation passing in the same direction. An example is given in which an electron is accelerated to 10 GeV, using a laser of 1014 W. A second example shows how pions and kaons might be separated at momenta over 1000 GeV. It is further shown that bunched charged particles passing down the helical magnet will radiate coherent circularly polarized electromagnetic waves, and it is speculated that the required bunching may under some circumstances be self-generating. An example is shown in which a 10-A current of 15-MeV electrons is used to generate a 75-MW beam of 10-μ radiation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
