Abstract

An exchange of energy between a charged particle and an EM wave scattered by a conductive sphere or a system of conductive spheres has been calculated. Fields of the near-wave zone are responsible for energy exchange. A proper distribution of the scatterers leads to a cumulative change of the particle energy. The deflection of particles and radiative losses due to the scattered wave have been evaluated. Although both processes seem unimportant for acceleration of heavy particles (protons), they do restrict the acceleration of electrons, particularly the radiative losses. The system is studied as a model of a laser diffraction grating accelerator.
