Observation of nonlinear effects in Compton scattering.
Nonlinear Compton scattering has been observed in the collision of a low-emittance 46.6-GeV electron beam with terawatt pulses from a Nd:glass laser at 1054 and 527 nm wavelengths in an experiment at the Final Focus Test Beam at SLAC. Peak laser intensities of 1018 Wycm2 have been achieved, corresponding to a value of 0.6 for the parameter h eErmsymv0c. Results are presented for multiphoton C...
متن کاملLow Intensity Nonlinear Effects in Compton Scattering
The design and optimization of a Mono-Energetic Gamma-Ray (MEGa-Ray) Compton scattering source are presented. A new precision source with up to 2.5 MeV photon energies, enabled by state of the art laser and x-band linac technologies, is currently being built at LLNL. Various aspects of the theoretical design, including dose and brightness optimization, are presented. In particular, while it is ...
متن کاملCompton Scattering
In the early 20th century, research into the interaction of X-rays with matter was an emerging field. It was observed that when a beam of X-rays is directed at an atom, an electron is ejected and the light is scattered through an angle θ, as illustrated below. Classical electromagnetism predicts that the wavelength of scattered rays should be equal to the initial wavelength; however, experiment...
متن کاملCompton scattering as a probe for materials investigation
This article investigates into the feasibility of using gamma radiation Compton backscatter spectra as a means of material characterization, with the view to developing a portable, hand held probe for investigative purposes such as searching for illicit substances hidden in wall or car door cavities.
متن کاملGuiding of X-rays from Inverse Compton Scattering as a means to enhance flux and brightness
Guiding of the X-ray photons emitted in an Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) device is possible using small diameter tubes. Whereas guiding of the electron and laser beams can directly increase the flux output of ICS interactions, manipulating the beams’ propagation can be very challenging. Guiding the output X-rays can be straightforward and offers three enhancements of the usable flux: off-axi...
