Thomson Backscattered X-Rays from an Intense Laser Beam

We have formulated and obtained analytical expressions for Thomson backscattered x-ray radiation for an electron beam incident on a linearly polarized electromagnetic undulator at a small angle. The analytical expressions are valid for fundamental and harmonics with arbitrarily large laser intensiti...

Description
Summary:We have formulated and obtained analytical expressions for Thomson backscattered x-ray radiation for an electron beam incident on a linearly polarized electromagnetic undulator at a small angle. The analytical expressions are valid for fundamental and harmonics with arbitrarily large laser intensities. The intensity distribution pattern is evaluated numerically...
