The concept of ponderomotive potential is upgraded to a regime in which radiation friction becomes dominant. The radiation friction manifests itself in novel features of long-term capturing of the particles released at the focus and impenetrability of the focus from the exterior. We apply time scales separation to the Landau-Lifshitz equation splitting the particle motion into quivering and slow drift of a guiding center. The drift equation is deduced by averaging over fast motion.

Efficiency of radiation friction losses in laser-driven "hole boring" of dense targets
在极端强度的激光脉冲($>10^{23}~{\rm W cm}^{-2}$)与高密度,厚等离子体目标的相互作用中,模拟显示出显着的辐射摩擦损失,与薄的目标,这种损失可以忽略不计。基于经典的辐射摩擦模型,对圆偏振脉冲与超临界初始密度的厚等离子体板相互作用时,激光能量向非相干辐射的转换效率进行了解析计算。通过考虑辐射损耗对单电子轨迹的影响、辐射压力作用下激光-等离子体相互作用区域的整体“打孔”运动以及激光场在纵向和横向的不均匀性,我们发现与三维粒子模拟的结果吻合得很好。总的来说,集体效应大大减少了真空中由相同激光脉冲驱动的电子的辐射损失,这也使经典计算的可靠性提高到更高的强度。
