Hamiltonian model of a free electron laser including high-density effects

Abstract

Both the Compton and the Raman regimes of a free electron laser are described by a relativistic Hamiltonian which originates the evolution equations for 2N+2 canonically conjugate electron and field variables, with the space coordinate as the independent variable. Space charge and field contribution to electron transverse velocity are included.
