Inverse Compton Scattering in Mildly Relativistic Plasma
We investigated the effect of inverse Compton scattering in mildly relativistic static and moving plasmas with low optical depth using Monte Carlo simulations, and calculated the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect in the cosmic background radiation. Our semi-analytic method is based on a separation of photon diffusion in frequency and real space. We use Monte Carlo simulation to derive the intensity and...
متن کاملInverse Compton Scattering – Revisited
An important radiative process, used in several astrophysical contexts to generate high energy photons, is the inverse compton scattering. In this process, relativistic electrons transfer part of their kinetic energy to low energy photons thereby creating high energy photons. Conventional text book derivation (Rybicki & Lightman 1979) of this process uses the photon picture, kinematics of elect...
متن کاملInverse Compton scattering
Hard photons well above 100GeV have to be generated in a future photon collider which essentially will be based on the infrastructure of the planned International Linear Collider (ILC). The energy of near-infrared laser photons will be boosted by Compton backscattering against a high-energy relativistic electron beam. For high effectiveness, a very powerful laser system is required that exceeds...
متن کاملThe double Compton emissivity in a mildly relativistic thermal plasma within the soft photon limit
Aims. We wish to provide simple and accurate analytic approximations for the low frequency double Compton (DC) emission coefficient , which are applicable in a broad range of physical situations up to mildly relativistic temperatures and may be useful for checking under which circumstances the double Compton process is important. Methods. We perform series expansions of the DC emission integral...
متن کاملAnisotropic Inverse Compton Scattering in the Galaxy
The inverse Compton scattering of interstellar photons off cosmic-ray electrons seems to play a more important rôle in the generation of diffuse emission from the Galaxy than thought before. The background radiation field of the Galaxy is highly anisotropic since it is dominated by the radiation from the Galactic plane. An observer in the Galactic plane thus sees mostly head-on scatterings even...
