A major obstacle for research in international asset pricing and corporate finance has been a lack of reliable and publicly available data on international common risk factors and portfolios. To address this gap, we provide a step-by-step description of how appropriately screened data from Thomson Reuters Datastream and Thomson Reuters Worldscope can be used to construct high-quality systematic...

In a recent paper it has been shown that single electron Thomson backscatter calculations can be performed including the effects of pulsed high intensity lasers. In this paper we present a more detailed treatment of the problem and present results for more general scattering geometries. In particular, we present new results for 90 degrees Thomson scattering. Such geometries have been increasing...

Isabelle Moulinier is a research scientist at Thomson Reuters corporate R&D group. Since joining the group 15 years ago, her research interests have focuses on the application of information retrieval, natural language processing and machine learning technologies to the improvement of search and other aspects of the user experience. Prior to joining Thomson Reuters, she worked on text categoriz...

We will follow Ch. 6 in Weinberg’s book quite closely. As seen therein, the exact calculations for the evolution of radiation perturbations require that we take into account the fact that Thomson scattering of photons depends on the photon polarization. To simplify and get to the basic physics results, we will assume that photons are unpolarized and that Thomson scattering is insensitive to pol...

Inverse Compton scattering sources are finding increasing use as intense of high-energy photons. When operated at high field strength, ponderomotive detuning the scattered emission can lead to decreased source performance. Up now, calculations spectra for such nonlinear Thomson have been done assuming a perfectly aligned electron interacts with incident laser beam and several authors investigat...
