Abstract
We analyze the collision of a high energy electron beam with an oscillating electric and magnetic field configuration, which represents a three-dimensional standing electromagnetic wave. The radiating electrons are stopped at the distance of the order of or less than the electromagnetic wave wavelength, and become trapped near the electric field local maxima due to the nonlinear dependence of the radiation friction force on the electromagnetic field strength, while the quantum effects on the radiation friction remain negligible.
