Calculation of Characteristics of Radiation Generated with Compton Scattering Through Classical Electrodynamics Approach.

Integration of Lorentz equation for a relativistic electron moving in the field of running, plane, linear polarized electromagnetic wave has been carried out. Using derived formulas for electron trajectories expressions for the radiation intensity spectrum were obtained. It is shown that for low intensity of the interacting electromagnetic wave the results of energy and angular spectrum calculations in the frame of classical electrodynamics completely coincide with calculation results produced using quantum electrodynamics. Simultaneously, derived expressions give possibilities to investigate dependence of energy and angular Compton radiation spectrum on phase of interaction and the interacting wave intensity. © 2007 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
