Scattering of electrons by intense coherent light
Abstract
We report the first direct observation of electron inelastic scattering from the pondermotive potential of an intense laser pulse in vacuum. Electrons gained up to 0.2 eV when scattered from the temporal leading edge of a 1064-nm (1.165 eV), 140-psec laser pulse, and lost comparable amounts of energy when scattered from the trailing edge. When directed to the most intense part of the pulse, they were deflected out of the beam.

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.
