Abstract

The pondermotive potential in the x-ray Raman compression can generate an electron band gap, which suppresses the Landau damping. The regime is identified where a Langmuir wave can be driven without damping in the stimulated Raman compression. It is shown that the partial wave breaking and the frequency detuning due to the trapped particles would be greatly reduced.
