Description

A numerical study of the relativistic motion of a distribution of electrons in a configuration consisting of two circularly polarized electromagnetic waves counter-propagating obliquely with respect to a constant magnetic field is presented. It is shown that a high averaged velocity is observed for a wide range of angles between the constant magnetic field and the wave-vectors. (authors)
