Engineering Physics Annotation << Back THE TRANSVERSE SHIFT OF A CHARGED PARTICLE IN THE FIELD OF A PLANE ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE D.N. GABYSHEV The problem of an initially resting charged particle return to the primordial position in the transverse direction after a plane and linearly polarized electromagnetic pulse passage is discussed. It is shown that the particle non-return to the initial position in the transverse direction may take place at a symmetrical pulse, as well as at a pulse with nonsymmetrical fronts. Moreover in the last case the value of the particle non-return is greater. The possible experimental scheme for checking the effect is proposed. Keywords: a particle in an electromagnetic field, relativistic dynamics, ultrashort pulses. Contacts: E-mail: gabyshev-dmitrij@rambler.ru Pp. 04-10.
