Unexplored physics phenomena e.g. radiation reaction occur when electrons interact with an E-field close to the Schwinger critical field

Is being pursued actively at the moment using PW lasers and LWFA e-beams with interesting results e.g.
Cole et al, Experimental evidence of radiation reaction in the collision of a high-intensity laser pulse with a LWFA electron beam PRX 8, 011020 (2018) Poder et al “Evidence of strong radiation reaction in the field
From Hosler, Wood “Free electron lasers: beyond EUV lithography insertions”, Global Foundries
Semiconductor industry is a very large economic driver $2.0T global electronics maker Current technology uses EUV from laser produced plasma
for leading-edge fab. FELs being considered as an alternative but need to fulfill many requirements, one of which is high efficiency ~ 10 %

Take home messages from 1-D theory (1) Resonant phase ψr sets the speed of the taper and the size of the bucket ∴ Trade-off between number of electron trapped and how quickly the electrons are decelerated (2) Power scales like (ft sinψr)2
∴ Increasing the trapping by e.g. pre-bunching can increase P (3) Power scales like I2/σe2 =I2/βεn
∴ Brighter beam/smaller beta conducive to high efficiency

No tapering “Slow” tapering “Fast” tapering “Fast” taper has larger net energy loss but smallest fraction captured “Slow” taper strikes the balance between total energy loss and trapping fraction No tapering efficiency is the same as saturation
P ∝ ez/Lg P ∝ z2
In 1-D theory, with a judiciously chosen taper you can continue to increase power by adding undulators

motion caused by sidebands in free electron lasers”
“…the electron motion in a FEL will become chaotic when the sideband amplitude exceeds a certain threshold. This, in turn, will result in significant electron detrapping. Since it is the deceleration of the trapped electron bucket that provides the energy for the radiation in the case of tapered wigglers, detrapping will cause loss of amplification for the FEL signal”
