Application To Generation of Pulsed Hard Radiation
When a laser pulse passes an electron the electron is shaken heavily, but afterwards it flies on as if nothing has happened, though a little bit of Compton scattering has taken place. Additionally an electron can either enter or leave an atom and in this process the electron can either emit an X-ray photon or absorb an X-ray photon. In a complex situation with an atom, an electron, and a laser pulse, either the energy of the X-ray photon depends on the electric field of the laser pulse at the time of creation or the energy of the electron depends on the electric field of the laser pulse at the time of leaving the atom. This is called either pulsed X-ray generation or attosecond transient recorder. Though the atom and the laser pulse interact in various ways, this is ignored here (see high harmonic generation instead).

Famous quotes containing the words application to, application, generation, hard and/or radiation:
“If you would be a favourite of your king, address yourself to his weaknesses. An application to his reason will seldom prove very successful.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The best political economy is the care and culture of men; for, in these crises, all are ruined except such as are proper individuals, capable of thought, and of new choice and the application of their talent to new labor.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“You are truly the generation in the middle! You have at once aging parents as well as maturing children to cope with, and you are not granted the deference accorded age, or the indulgence given the young.”
—Helene S. Arnstein (20th century)
“Any honest examination of the national life proves how far we are from the standard of human freedom with which we began. The recovery of this standard demands of everyone who loves this country a hard look at himself, for the greatest achievments must begin somewhere, and they always begin with the person. If we are not capable of this examination, we may yet become one of the most distinguished and monumental failures in the history of nations.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation “alter” nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
