Complete description of polarization effects in the nonlinear Compton scattering I. Circularly polarized laser photons
نویسنده
چکیده
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 covariant form. Besides, we discuss an application of the obtained formulas to the problem of e → γ conversion at γγ and γe colliders.

Polarization 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...

In a number of papers an attractive method of laser polarization of electrons (positrons) at storage rings or linear colliders has been proposed. We show that these suggestions are incorrect and based on errors in the simulation of multiple Compton scattering and in the calculation of the Compton spin-flip cross sections. We argue that the equilibrium polarization in this method is zero.
متن کاملA Complete Order-c8 Calculation of the Cross Section for Polarized Compton Scattering+
The construction of a computer code to calculate the cross sections for the spin-polarized processes e-7 -+ e-7, e-77, e-e+eto order-a3 is described. The code calculates cross sections for circularly-polarized initial-state photons and arbitrarily polarized initial-state electrons. The application of the code to the SLD Compton polarimeter indicates that the order-o3 corrections produce a fract...
متن کاملBACKGAMMON: A Scheme for Compton Backscattered Photoproduction at the International Linear Collider
We propose to investigate the possibility of Compton backscattering low energy laser pulses off the spent electron and positron beams at the International Linear Collider. The hot backscattered photons would then scatter off fixed targets for a rich variety of physics studies in a scheme dubbed BACKGAMMON, for BACKscattered GAMMas On Nucleons. The first objective would be to operate a heavy qua...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 3 Is it possible to obtain polarized positrons during multiple Compton backscattering process ?
1. In existing projects of electron-positron colliders, the option of polarized electron and positron beams is considered [1,2]. While one can consider the problem of producing the polarized electron beams with required characteristics as having been solved [3], the existing approaches to polarized positrons generation [4-7] do not provide required parameters. In quoted papers the schemes were ...
