Abstract
Nonresonant spontaneous bremsstrahlung of an electron scattered by a nucleus in the field of two moderately strong pulsed waves is studied theoretically. The process is studied in detail within the interference kinematic region. This region is determined by scattering of particles in the same plane at predetermined angles, at which stimulated absorption and emission of photons of external pulsed waves by an electron occur in a correlated manner. It is shown that the probability of the partial process with correlated emission (absorption) by an electron of the equal number of photons of the both waves is of an order of the magnitude greater than the corresponding probability in any other scattering kinematics. The cross section of spontaneous bremsstrahlung in two pulsed waves may be two times greater than the cross section of a free-field process after summation over all stimulated processes of correlated emission and absorption. Obtained results may be experimentally verified, for example, by scientific facilities at sources of pulsed laser radiation (SLAC, FAIR, ELI, XCELS).
