Title:

Superposed-Laser Electron Acceleration

Date of publication:

Feb. 1992

Key words:

particle acceleration, electron acceleration, high-energy electron, laser acceleration

Abstract:

A new mechanism is proposed for electron acceleration by using two super-posed laser beams in vacuum. In this mechanism, an electron is accelerated by the longitudinal component of the wave electric field in the overlapped region of two laser beams. Single-particle computations and analytical works are performed in order to demonstrate the viability. These results show that, the electron can be accelerated well in this proposed mechanism.
