In this paper we present the inelastic scattering of electrons by a pulsed laser beam in free-space using the computational simulation technique. Emphasis is put on the inelastic scattering resulting from the time-varying nature of the pulsed laser fields. It is also found that the effects can be explained within the framework of time-dependent ponderomotive potentials if the field intensity .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
