Acceleration of charged particles and radiation reaction in strong plane and spherical waves. II

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and nuclei

Abstract

Particle motion in a superstrong wave field (Laser or Pulsar field) is considered in the presence of an additional longitudinal magnetic field. It is shown that the particle motion is distinctly different from that in a previously considered pure wave field and that the maximum obtainable energy is substantially reduced. We also reconsider the effects of radiation reaction on a particle moving in a plane linearily polarized wave.
