Femtosecond Transversal Deflection of Electron Beams with the Help of Laser Beams and Its Possible Applications

摘要

It is shown that the interaction of an electron beam with polarizedelectromagnetic wave of laser photons propagating in the same direction in ashort interaction region results in significant transversal deflection of theelectrons which can be used for production of femtosecond electron andsynchrotron radiation beams, for chopping the electron beams and constructionof laser oscilloscopes measuring femtosecond processes.
