Relativistic theory of the scattering of linearly polarized electromagnetic waves by a nonmagnetized electron beam
Abstract
The paper is concerned with the linear and nonlinear theories of the scattering of linearly polarized electromagnetic waves by an electron beam in the absence of an external magnetic field. It is shown that there exist some essential differences between the scattering of linearly polarized waves and that of linearly polarized waves. The amplitudes of the scattered waves and the characteristic times of the scattering processes are determined analytically. A classification of scattering processes is proposed.
