Observation of nonlinear effects in Compton scattering.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 Compton scattering in which up to four laser photons interact with an electron, in agreement with theoretical calculations. [S0031-9007(96)00012-9]

Compton 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 کاملDetermining the accuracy of measuring the thickness of steel plates using Compton scattering method
When there is limitation access to one side of the structure in industry, one of the best methods for thickness measurements is the Compton scattering. In this paper, due to the statistical behavior of dispersed beam counting, we discuss the accuracy of the measurement for steel thickness. Using the experimental method and comparing it with MCNP simulation code, the accuracy is obtained less th...

Introduction:In PET imaging, one or both of two annihilation photons may change the direction before reaching the detector due to Compton scattering interaction in body. .Methods:This article, a Monte Carlo simulation study, examined the effect of soft tissue on this error.In this work, the PET BiographTM 6 scanner, a simple geometry of soft tissue -including a sphere of soft tissue in center ...
متن کاملProblems of multi-TeV photon colliders
A high energy photon collider (γγ, γe) based on backward Compton scattering of laser light is a very natural supplement to e+e− a linear collider and can significantly enrich the physics program. The region below about one 0.5–1 TeV is very convenient from a technical point of view: wave length of the laser should be about 1 μm, i.e. in the region of most powerful solid state lasers, collision ...
متن کاملاثر تغییر تابع توزیع انرژی فوتون‌ها بر شرایط احتراق سوخت هم مولار دوتریوم- تریتیوم
At the beginning of thermonuclear ignition in fusion plasma, the bremsstrahlung radiation is dominant phenomenon, the photons distribution function is Planckian and plasma is considered as optically thick one. But at a certain energy, the bremsstrahlung radiation and Compton scattering losses rates become equal and plasma makes a transition from optically thick to optically thin and photons dis...
