Radiation Emission by Extreme Relativistic Electrons and Pair Production by Hard Photons in a Strong Plasma Wakefield
Radiation spectrum of extreme relativistic electrons and a probability of
electron-positron pair production by energetic photons in a strong plasma
wakefield are derived in the framework of a semiclassical approach. It is shown
that that the radiation losses of the relativistic electron in the plasma
wakefield scale as in the quantum limit when the
energy of the radiated photon becomes close to the electron energy, . The quantum effects will play a key role in future plasma-based accelerators
operating at ultrahigh energy of the electrons.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
