Abstract
An analysis of recent free‐electron laser experiments in combined wiggler and strong axial magnetic fields shows that near resonance, Ω∥=kwv∥, the proximity of the cyclotron maser instability precludes an unambiguous identification of the radiation mechanism (Ω∥ is the cyclotron frequency in the axial field, kw is the wiggler wavenumber, and v∥ the axial electron velocity).Keywords
