Induced radiation of an electron in a plane wave in a magnetic field

This paper discusses the induced radiation of electrons in the field of a plane electromagnetic wave propagating along the intensity vector of a uniform magnetic field. Expressions are obtained for the power and frequencies of the radiation. The role of the polarization of the plane wave in the radiation process and the effect of the magnetic field present on the induced radiation in the field of a plane wave are investigated. Several specific cases are discussed.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 49–55, April, 1979.
