The found solutions are expressed in terms of new complex trigonometric polynomials, which form a doubly infinite set labeled by two integer quantum numbers. These quantum numbers represent quantized spectra of the energy-momentum components of the charged particle along the polarization vector and along the propagation direction of the applied electromagnetic plane wave field (which is considered as a laser field of arbitrary high intensity, propagating in an underdense plasma). These new solutions may serve as a basis for the description of possible quantum features of mechanisms of acceleration of electrons by high-intensity laser fields.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-19T15:20:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exact solutions", "dirac equation", "charged particle interacting", "electromagnetic plane wave field", "monochromatic electromagnetic plane wave" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Laser Physics Letters", "year": 2013, "month": "Sep", "volume": 10, "number": 9, "pages": "095301" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013LaPhL..10i5301V" } } }
