Signatures of the Carrier Envelope Phase in Nonlinear Thomson Scattering

Crystals, 2021
High-energy radiation can be generated by colliding a relativistic electron bunch with a high-intensity laser pulse—a process known as Thomson scattering. In the nonlinear regime the emitted radiation contains harmonics. For a laser pulse whose length is

Relativistic nonlinear Thomson scattering of excited electron in ultra-tightly focused circularly polarized laser pulses with different beam waist radius

Frontiers in Physics
Based on Thomson scattering classical theory and single-electron model, we explore the influence of variations in the laser beam waist radius on the interaction between an ultra-tightly focused (UTF) laser and off-axis electron. In practical experiments,

On the Usage of Tapered Undulators in the Measurement of Interference in the Intensity-Dependent Electron Mass Shift

Crystals, 2021
In nonlinear Thomson scattering, the main emission line and its harmonics form a band-like structure due to the laser pulse shape induced ponderomotive broadening. We propose to use tapered undulators to mimic Thomson scattering and measure the intensity-

Emittance in nonlinear Thomson scattering

Physical Review Accelerators and Beams, 2022
Inverse Compton scattering sources are finding increasing use as intense sources of high-energy photons. When operated at high field strength, ponderomotive detuning of the scattered emission can lead to decreased source performance.

Gamma-ray vortices from nonlinear inverse Thomson scattering of circularly polarized light

Scientific Reports, 2017
Inverse Thomson scattering is a well-known radiation process that produces high-energy photons both in nature and in the laboratory. Nonlinear inverse Thomson scattering occurring inside an intense light field is a process which generates higher harmonic

Attosecond electron bunch measurement with coherent nonlinear Thomson scattering

Physical Review Accelerators and Beams, 2020
We present a novel method for measurement of ultrashort electron-bunch duration, in principle, as short as zeptosecond (10^{−21}  s). The method employs nonlinear Thomson scattering of relativistically intense laser light, and takes advantage of the ...
