Abstract

We demonstrate that electrons interacting with an optical, radially-polarized Bessel-beam emit radiation of identical characteristics as channeling radiation. However, because this happens in vacuum, there is no scattering caused by the crystal lattice as occurs in conventional channeling radiation. Contrary to inverse Compton radiation, the frequency is determined by the amplitude of the laser field rather than by its frequency. Other unique characteristics are presented.
