High-resolution modeling of nonlinear Compton scattering in focused laser pulses
arXiv:2109.09490 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.106.013010
Abstract
A semi-classical approach is used to calculate radiation emission in the collision of an electron with an intense focused laser pulse. The results are compared to predictions from the locally constant field and locally monochromatic approximations. It is found that simulations employing the semi-classical approach capture features in the energy spectra, such as subharmonics and bandwidth structure, which are beyond local approaches. The formation length is introduced as a diagnostic to select between approaches as the electron is propagated through the pulse.
