“…Some of these results have been recently and breifly presented in Ref. [15], and in this paper these results, as well as additional aspects of CAS, are studied in detail. This study has significance in determining parameters for experimentally testing laser-driven electron acceleration in vacuum.…”

The interaction of free electrons with intense laser beams in vacuum is studied using a 3D test particle simulation model that solves the relativistic Newton-Lorentz equations of motion in analytically specified laser fields. Recently, a group of solutions was found for very intense laser fields that show interesting and unusual characteristics. In particular, it was found that an electron can be captured within the high-intensity laser region, rather than expelled from it, and the captured electron can be accelerated to GeV energies with acceleration gradients on the order of tens of GeV/cm. This phenomenon is termed the capture and acceleration scenario (CAS) and is studied in detail in this paper. The maximum net energy exchange by the CAS mechanism is found to be approximately proportional to

We show that the phase velocity in a stationary state of a de Broglie wave can be directly obtained from the probability distribution, i.e. the quantum trajectories, without detailed knowledge of the phase term itself. In other words, the amplitude of a de Broglie wave function describes not only the probability distribution but also the phase velocity distribution. Using this relationship, we comment on two calculations of the Goos-Hänchen shift in de Broglie waves. phase velocity, de Broglie wave, Goos-Hänchen shift Citation:Wang P X, Wang J X, Huo Y K, et al.
