Abstract
The stimulated emission of radiation of a relativistic beam of electrons in a transverse magnetic field has been analyzed theoretically by several authors1–6, and has very recently been demonstrated experimentally at Stanford7,8 by J. Madey and coworkers.

In reality, this walking potential is moving quite fast, sinceks ≫ki and therefore βs ≃ 1. W. E. Lamb, Jr., suggested that it might be more appropriate to call it a “jogging”potential.
