The scattering of a Langmuir wave by a relativistic electron to produce a transversely polarized high-frequency EM wave by an inverse Compton process is investigated theoretically. The results of numerical computations are presented in diagrams and graphs, and it is shown that although net growth rates are predicted for several classes of Langmuir spectra, they are at least several orders of magnitude too small to account for the intense high-frequency emission seen in recent beam-plasma experiments (Benford et al., 1980; Kato et al., 1983) unless some unknown coherence mechanism is focusing the inverse-Compton emission. The implications of the mechanism for astrophysical beam-plasma systems such as quasars and radio galaxies are indicated.
