Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

In this paper, within the framework of classical electrodynamics, we rederive in a simple way the formula for the cross section of light scattering by a moving particle. The results are of interest for the community of researchers working on laser-electron X-ray generators.
