Conditions for electron capture by an ultraintense stationary laser beam
We present in this paper a quantitative study of an effect, in which a low-energy free electron is captured and violently accelerated to GeV final kinetic energy by a stationary extra-high-intensity laser beam (Q0 identical witheE/m(e)omegac greater, similar100). The conditions under which this phenomenon can occur, such as the momentum range, incident angle of the incoming electron, the waist width of the laser beam, etc., have been investigated in detail.
