This opens an avenue to observe radiation friction in laser-matter interactions at much lower energies and laser intensities than accepted ever previously. An estimate for the energy losses of the particles in the bunch over the collision due to coherent radiation friction in terms of laser and bunch parameters is derived and validated by comparing with the results of three dimensional particle-in-cell simulations.
