We consider the emission spectrum of high-energy electrons in an intense laser field. At high intensities ($a_0\sim200$) we find that the QED theory predicts a narrower angular spread of emissions than the classical theory. This is due to…

Energy conservation in radiating processes requires, at the classical level, to take into account damping forces on the sources. These forces can be represented in terms of asymptotic data and lead to charges defined as integrals over the…
