Polarization of the Final Electron in the Field of an Intense Electromagnetic Wave

Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The polarizing properties of the Compton effect in the field of a circularly polarized laser wave are considered. The behavior of the electron spin has been analyzed for the case of a nonlinear Compton effect. The transition from longitudinal to transverse polarization has been demonstrated. A complete set of formulas has been derived to describe the polarization of the final electron in a nonlinear case.
