Title: Thomson scattering of polarized photons in an intense laser beam

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:876478

We present a theoretical analysis of the Thomson scattering of linearly and circularly polarized photons from a pulsed laser by electrons. The analytical expression for the photon distribution functions presented in this paper should be useful to designers of Thomson scattering experiments.
