Sensitivity of single crystals to the circular polarization of high - energy γ - quanta
It is shown that single crystals are sensitive to the initial circular polarization of γ-quanta with energies in tens GeV and more. The possibility of measurement of γ-beam polarization is discussed. The obtained results may be useful for creation of polarimeters for high energy beams of γ-quanta. 1 Introduction The birefringence of γ-quanta with energies > 1 GeV propagating in single crystals ...
متن کاملPropagation of polarized high-energy photons in crystals
The density matrix is obtained for short-wavelength photons passing through a medium. For sufficiently large thicknesses of a target this matrix is expressed by the forward scattering amplitude of a photon. For multi-GeV photons scattering via virtual e+ e− pairs is the most important process. Its amplitude in a crystal is calculated. The results obtained are used to find the optimal thicknesse...

Propagation of γ-beam in the anisotropic medium is considered. The simplest example of such a medium of the general type is a combination of the two linearly polarized monochromatic laser waves with different frequencies (dichromatic wave). The optical properties of this combination are described with the use of the per-mittivity tensor. The refractive indices and polarization characteristics o...
متن کاملLow-Energy Compton Scattering of Polarized Photons on Polarized Nucleons
The general structure of the cross section of γN scattering with polarized photon and/or nucleon in initial and/or final state is systematically described and exposed through invariant amplitudes. A low-energy expansion of the cross section up to and including the order O(ω4) is given which involves ten structure parameters of the nucleon (dipole, quadrupole, dispersion, and spin polarizabiliti...
متن کاملComplete description of polarization effects in the nonlinear Compton scattering I. Circularly polarized laser photons
We consider emission of a photon by an electron in the field of a strong laser wave. Polarization effects in this process are important for a number of physical problems. We discuss a probability of this process for circularly polarized laser photons and for arbitrary polarization of all other particles. We obtain the complete set of functions which describe such a probability in a compact cova...
