Abstract

There exist two families of superradiance phenomena: relying on free electrons or on correlated emission by ensembles of atoms. Here we investigate emission from ensembles of atoms driven by coherently shaped free electrons. This interaction creates superradiance emerging from both the atoms' and the electrons' coherence - with emission intensity that scales quadratically in both the number of atoms and number of electrons. This phenomenon enables electrons to become probes of quantum correlations in matter, with high temporal and spatial resolution.
