Compton Sailing and Strong Polarization
نویسنده
چکیده
It is noted that a surface layer of matter in contact with a sufficiently superEddington, radially combed photon flux typically attains a relativistic coasting state whereby the radiation does not accelerate the matter. Radiation that scatters off this layer is most likely to be observed along the velocity vector of the matter, where it would be strongly polarized.

An inverse Compton scattering (ICS) model of pulsar emission: III. polarization
Qiao and his collaborators recently proposed an inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) model to explain radio emission of pulsars. In this paper, we investigate the polarization properties of pulsar emission in the model. First of all, using the lower frequency approximation, we derived the analytical amplitude of inverse Compton scattered wave of a single electron in strong magnetic field. We found ...

The measurement of the polarization of cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides considerable useful information about different physical phenomena at the last scattering surface. The polarization of CMB is due to Compton scattering. In this work, we consider the parity violation of Compton scattering. Then we insert the new amplitude into the quantum Boltzmann equation and show that the forwa...
متن کاملUnfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5
Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...
متن کاملAnalytical results for non-linear Compton scattering in short intense laser pulses
We study in detail the strong-field QED process of non-linear Compton scattering in short intense plane wave laser pulses of circular polarization. Our main focus is placed on how the spectrum of the back-scattered laser light depends on the shape and duration of the initial short intense pulse. Although this pulse shape dependence is very complicated and highly non-linear, and has never been a...
متن کاملDetection of partial polarization in Compton scattered photons
It has been recently proposed [1] to use polarization of Compton scattered γrays to improve the imaging performance of Compton telescopes. Building upon that work, we detected the aforementioned polarization in a sample of 1.836 MeV γ-rays from the LXeGRIT Compton telescope. Here we present the measurement, together with detector oriented considerations on the application of the principle to a ...
