  We analyze the collision of a high energy electron beam with an oscillating
electric and magnetic field configuration, which represents a three-dimensional
standing electromagnetic wave. The radiating electrons are stopped at the
distance of the order of or less than the electromagnetic wave wavelength, and
become trapped near the electric field local maxima due to the nonlinear
dependence of the radiation friction force on the electromagnetic field
strength, while the quantum effects on the radiation friction remain
negligible.
