Pulse envelope effect on nonlinear Compton scattering in electron-laser collisions
B. King
Nonlinear Compton scattering is calculated for the collision of an electron with a plane wave pulse. A mid infra-red (IR) peak arises in the photon spectrum due to long-range inter…
Loop spin effects in intense background fields
Anton Ilderton, Ben King, Suo Tang
Radiative and non-radiative electron spin flip probabilities are analysed in both plane wave and focussed laser backgrounds. We provide a simple and physically transparent descript…
Spin and polarisation dependent LCFA rates for nonlinear Compton and Breit-Wheeler processes
D. Seipt, B. King
In this paper we derive and discuss the completely spin- and photon-polarisation dependent probability rates for nonlinear Compton scattering and nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair produ…
The locally monochromatic approximation to QED in intense laser fields
T. Heinzl, B. King, A. J. MacLeod
We derive an approximation to QED effects in strong background fields which can be employed to improve numerical simulations of laser-particle collisions. Treating the laser as a p…
Nonlinear Compton scattering of polarised photons in plane-wave backgrounds
B. King, S. Tang
We investigate the phenomenology of nonlinear Compton scattering of polarised photons by unpolarised electrons in plane-wave backgrounds. The energy and angular spectra of polarise…
Highly polarised gamma photons from electron-laser collisions
S. Tang, B. King, H. Hu
We detail a method to produce a GeV-photon source with polarisation purity exceeding and for linear and circular polarisation respectively and with a brilliance of th…
