Description
The motion of an electron in a linearly polarized wiggler with an axial guide field is found to be nonintegrable. There is evidence for chaos from numerical calculations of Poincare maps and of nonzero Lyapunov exponents. Resonances can be predicted from a one-dimensional Hamiltonian perturbed by a small ''time-dependent'' quantity
