What defines the quantum regime of the free-electron laser?
The quantum regime of the free-electron laser (FEL) emerges when the discreteness of the momentum of the electron plays a dominant role in the interaction with the laser and the wiggler field. Motivated by a heuristic phase space approach we pursue two different routes to define the transition from...
