Suppression of the radiation limit through autoresonant acceleration of charged particles by an electrostatic field

We consider the autoresonant motion of a charged particle in the field of a transverse electromagnetic wave propagating with the speed of light along a stationary homogeneous magnetic field with allowance for radiative friction. It is shown that the loss of wave-particle synchronism due to radiative friction can be suppressed by an external electrostatic field that is parallel to the magnetic field. © 1997 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
