Response to “Comment on ‘Chaotic electron trajectories in an electromagnetic wiggler free-electron laser with ion-channel guiding’” [Phys. Plasmas 17, 093103 (2010)]

Abstract

Nasr and Hasanbeigi in their comment [Phys. Plasmas 17, 093103 (2010)] have claimed that, in our recent paper [Phys. Plasmas 17, 093103 (2010)], incorrect initial conditions have been used based on dispersion relation (or normalized electromagnetic wave frequency ω−w) and mean axial velocity βb. We use a self-consistent method to calculate more accurate values of ω−w and βb and show that all results presented in our recent paper are correct.
