Radiative Reactions and Coherence Modeling in the High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse
Charles N. Vittitoe, Mario Rabinowitz
Abstract
A high altitude nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) with a peak field intensity of 5 x 104 V/m carries momentum that results in a retarding force on the average Compton electron (radiating coherently to produce the waveform) with magnitude near that of the geomagnetic force responsible for the coherent radiation. The retarding force results from a self field effect. The Compton electron interaction with the self generated magnetic field due to the other electrons accounts for the momentum density in the propagating wave; interaction with the self generated electric field accounts for the energy flux density in the propagating wave. Coherent addition of radiation is also quantitatively modeled.
