Scattering of ultraintense short laser pulses off relativistic electrons allows one to generate a large number of X- or $\gamma$-ray photons with the expense of the spectral width---temporal pulsing of the laser inevitable leads to…
The process of emission of electromagnetic radiation does not occur instantaneously but it is "formed" over a finite time known as radiation formation time. In the ultrarelativistic regime, the corresponding (longitudinal) formation length…
