Electron beam guiding by a laser Bessel beam

We investigate the dynamics of electrons counterpropagating along a radially polarized optical Bessel beam (OBB). (i) It is shown that a significant fraction of the electrons can be transversally trapped by the OBB even in the case of “unmatched” injection. Moreover, (ii) these transversally trapped...
