 The Equation of Motion in an Undulator

Magnetic fields in the periodic undulator cause the electrons to oscillate and thus
radiate. These magnetic fields also slow the electrons axial (z) velocity somewhat,
reducing both the Lorentz contraction and the Doppler shift, so that the observed
radiation wavelength is not quite so short. The force equation for an electron is

 Wiggler Radiation
At very high K >> 1, the radiated energy appears in very high harmonics, and at rather large
horizontal angles θ  ±K/γ (eq. 5.21). Because the emission angles are large, one tends to
use larger collection angles, which tends to spectrally merge nearby harmonics. The result
is a continuum at very high photon energies, similar to that of bending magnet radiation,
but increased by 2N (the number of magnet pole pieces).
