Abstract

K. P. Singh [Phys. Rev. E 69, 056410 (2004)] put forward a scheme of vacuum laser acceleration in a static magnetic field. We point out that one of the assumptions used in their model does not stand on a solid physical ground and that it seriously influences electrons to obtain net energy gains from the laser field.

Main findings

This comment argues that an assumption in a previously proposed vacuum laser acceleration scheme in a static magnetic field is not physically well grounded and that this assumption strongly affects whether electrons obtain net energy gains from the laser field.

Outcomes measured

  • electron net energy gain/acceleration in laser field with static magnetic field (theoretical model critique)

Limitations

  • Commentary on a prior model; no original experimental or epidemiological data reported in the abstract
  • Key methodological details of the criticized assumption are not provided in the abstract
