Volkov solution for an electron in the two wave fields
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the Dirac equation with two different four-potentials of the plane electromagnetic waves. We derive the partial differential equation for the wave function, which is generalized form of the Volkov equation. We find the solutions of the Dirac equation for two orthogonal plane waves. We determine the modified Compton formula for the scattering of two photons on an electron.

Electron wave-packet dynamics in a relativistic electromagnetic field: 3-D analytical approximation.
A solution to the Klein Gordon equation for a laser-driven electron is constructed from a superposition of Volkov states. The time-and space-dependent three-dimensional superposition integral can be evaluated analytically for an initial Gaussian momentum distribution when the expression for relativistic energy is expanded in a Taylor series over the scaled initial momenta. The solution preserve...
متن کاملJ un 2 00 4 Compton effect in dielectric medium Miroslav
We determine the Compton effect from the Volkov solution of the Dirac equation for a process in medium with the index of refraction n. Volkov solution involves the mass shift, or, the mass renormalization of an electron. We determine the modified Compton formula for the considered physical situation. The index of refraction causes that the wave lengths of the scattered photons are shorter for s...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Physics-Based Method for the Solution of One-Dimensional Wave Motion Problems
In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...
متن کاملSpecial analytical properties of ultrastrong coherent fields
Emerging ultrastrong-laser capabilities that can reveal details of vacuum structure have intensified research into the fundamentals of quantum electrodynamics. It has been more than half a century since relativistic nonperturbative methods were introduced into the study of strong-field phenomena. Much of the early progress remains of fundamental relevance, but is known to only a small group of ...
متن کاملGenerating a Homogeneous Dose Distribution in the Junction Region between Two Adjacent Fields in Electron Beam Therapy
Introduction: Treatment with megavoltage electron beams is ideal for irradiating superficial tumors because of their limited range in tissues. However, for electron treatment of extended areas, such as the chest wall, two or more adjacent fields can be used. Abutment of these fields may lead to significant dose in homogeneities in the junction region. The aim of this study is to offer a new met...
