Polarization and intensity of Compton scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
X-ray spectra scattered at 90° by acrylic resin plates of various thicknesses are measured. The intensity and polarization Compton-scattered X-rays estimated from the spectra. As thickness slab increases, increases but decreases. optimal for a polarized fluorescence spectrometer is determined, which provides both high polarization.

Low 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 کاملPolarization effects in the non-linear Compton scattering
We consider emission of a photon by an electron in the field of a strong laser wave. A probability of this process for circularly or linearly polarized laser photons and for arbitrary polarization of all other particles is calculated. We obtain the complete set of functions which describe such a probability in a compact invariant form. Besides, we discuss in some detail the polarization effects...
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 Sailing and Strong Polarization
It is noted that a surface layer of matter in contact with a sufficiently superEddington, radially combed photon flux typically attains a relativistic coasting state whereby the radiation does not accelerate the matter. Radiation that scatters off this layer is most likely to be observed along the velocity vector of the matter, where it would be strongly polarized. Subject headings: black hole ...
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.
