Abstract
We consider classical emission of a relativistic electron moving in an arbi trary direction with respect to the direction of propagation of a strong ci rcularly polarized electromagnetic wave. The exact expression for the angul ar distribution is derived by the summation of harmonics in the spectral-an gular distribution. The evolution of the symmetry and the shape of this ang ular distribution is investigated for different initial conditions for an e lectron and the intensity of the electromagnetic wave.
