Classical Theory of the Scattering of Intense Laser Radiation by Free Electrons
Abstract
A complete discussion of the classical theory of high-intensity Thomson scattering by free electrons is presented. Neglecting the radiation reaction, the equations of motion for an electron in an arbitrarily intense, elliptically polarized, plane electromagnetic wave can be solved exactly. From the solutions for the electron motion, the radiated power, momentum, and harmonics are calculated in two special Lorentz frames: the laboratory frame and the frame in which the electron is on the average at rest. The difference between the radiated power measured by an observer and that emitted by the electron is discussed for each frame. A sum rule for the radiated harmonics is derived. The limitation due to the neglect of radiation reaction is considered. Finally, the high- and low-intensity behavior of the spectrum and angular distribution of the radiation is analyzed in both frames.

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.
