We consider the scattering of a photon by an electron moving in the field of a plane periodic linearly polarized electromagnetic wave. We study the case when the four-momentum k/sub 1/ of the photon satisfies the condition k/sub 1/k = 0, where k is the four-momentum of the quanta of the plane wave. We obtain formulae for the angular and spectral distributions of the photon in the frame in which the electron is at rest on average in the form of an expansion in the parameter x/sup 2/ = e/sup 2/A-bar/sup 2//sub ..mu..//m/sup 2/ (A/sub ..mu../ is the potential of the plane periodic wave and m the electron mass). We obtain also the total cross-section and the average radiation energy taking terms of order x/sup 2/ into account. We study the limit ..omega../..omega../sub 1/<<1.
