J. Garrido-Lestache Cabrera, V. Rollán, J. M. Ollero · Physical Review Letters · 2014

Summary

It is shown that a beam of 10(9) 1 GeV electrons colliding with a 30 fs laser pulse of intensity 10(22) W cm(-2) will emit 6300 photons with energy greater than 700 MeV, 60× the number predicted by classical theory.
