Coherent radiation of an electron bunch colliding with an intense laser pulse

We study the conditions for coherent radiation of an electron bunch driven by a counterpropagating strong pulsed electromagnetic plane wave. We derive the spectrum of the coherent radiation and show that it is emitted backward with respect to the laser propagation direction and has a very narrow ang...
