Novel Signatures of Radiation Reaction in Electron-Laser Sidescattering
New Journal of Physics(2024)
摘要
In this article we investigate novel signatures of radiation reaction via the
angular deflection of an electron beam colliding at 90 degrees with an intense
laser pulse. Due to the radiation reaction effect, the electrons can be
deflected towards the beam axis for plane wave backgrounds, which is not
possible in the absence of radiation reaction effects. The magnitude and size
of the deflection angle can be controlled by tailoring the laser pulse shapes.
The effect is first derived analytically using the Landau-Lifshitz equation,
which allows to determine the important scaling behavior with laser intensity
and particle energy. We then move on to full scale 3D Monte Carlo simulations
to verify the effect is observable with present day laser technology. We
investigate the opportunities for an indirect observation of laser depletion in
such side scattering scenarios.
