The investigation of relativistic electron electromagnetic field features during interaction with matter

TL;DR

This paper investigates how the electromagnetic field of relativistic electrons changes after passing through a hole in an absorbing screen, revealing an unstable state that transitions to a stable state over a specific distance.

Contribution

It provides new insights into the behavior of relativistic electron fields during interaction with matter, especially regarding the unstable and stable states of the electron's Coulomb field.

Findings

Existence of an unstable electron state with a depleted Coulomb field

Transition to a stable electron state occurs at a radiation formation length

Electromagnetic field features depend on distance from the absorbing screen

Abstract

The features of electromagnetic field of relativistic electrons passing through a hole in an absorbing screen as a function of the distance from the screen in range of radiation formation length were investigated. The analysis of obtained results allows approving the existence of an unstable state of electron with a particularly deprived its coulomb field, which turns into a stable state of usual electron at a distance of a radiation formation length.
