We point out that even the most intense laser beams available today can provide only a very small fraction of the beam energy required to reach the design luminosity for a future e+e- linear collider. This fact seems to have been overlooked…
A scheme of soft x-ray lasers is proposed. The backward Raman scattering between an intense visible-light laser and a relativistic electron beam results in sofr x-ray via the Doppler shift. One of the most intense soft x-ray light sources…
