Classical motion of a charged particle in the presence of a static, homogeneous magnetic field and a linearly frequency shifted electromagnetic plane wave

Description

The relativistic motion of a charged particle in the field composed by a static, homogeneous magnetic field and a linearly frequency shifted (chirped) electromagnetic plane wave propagating along the magnetic field is studied. The classical relativistic equations of motion are used where the radiation reaction is neglected. The analytic solution shows that the energy of the particle is systematically increased due to the frequency shift. This result illustrates the theoretical possibility of a new type of laser accelerator. (author) 11 refs.; 4 figs
