Abstract
A special type of multiphoton interaction of powerful laser radiation with fast truly free electrons is analyzed. The production of intense soft-x-ray emission is shown to arise due to the large differential cross section of the process and the Doppler shift of the simultaneously scattered photons.Keywords
