Inverse Compton scattering is a pivotal physical process wherein low‐energy photons are boosted to X-ray and γ-ray energies after colliding with relativistic electrons. This mechanism underpins the ...
A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser.
Researchers from Skoltech, MEPhI, and the Dukhov All-Russian Research Institute of Automation have proposed a new method to create compact gamma-ray sources that are simultaneously brighter, sharper, ...
Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...
An incident plane-wave laser is tuned by a diffractive optical part like grating or prism, and then being transformed into a tilted pulse laser. This tilted pulse is then focused by a sOAP mirror. A ...
International group of researchers including scientists from Skoltech have invented a new method for the generation of intense X-ray and gamma-ray radiation based on nonlinear Compton scattering.
Compton observed the scattering of x-rays from electrons in a carbon target and found scattered x-rays with a longer wavelength than those incident upon the target. Compton observed the scattering of ...
