Based on the high sensitivity of Compton scattering off ultra relativistic electrons, the possibility of anisotropies in the speed of light is investigated. The result discussed in this contribution is based on the gamma-ray beam of the ESRFs GRAAL facility (Grenoble, France) and the search for sidereal variations in the energy of the Compton-edge photons. The absence of oscillations yields the two-sided limit of 1.6 x 10^{-14} at 95 % confidence level on a combination of photon and electron coefficients of the minimal Standard Model Extension (mSME). This new constraint provides an improvement over previous bounds by one order of magnitude.

The possibility of anisotropies in the speed of light relative to the limiting speed of electrons is considered. The absence of sidereal variations in the energy of Compton-edge photons at the ESRFs GRAAL facility constrains such anisotropies represe
nting the first non-threshold collision-kinematics study of Lorentz violation. When interpreted within the minimal Standard-Model Extension, this result yields the two-sided limit of 1.6 x 10^{-14} at 95% confidence level on a combination of the parity-violating photon and electron coefficients kappa_{o+} and c. This new constraint provides an improvement over previous bounds by one order of magnitude.
The energy measurement uncertainty of circular electron positron collider (CEPC) beam must be less than $10 mathrm{MeV}$ to accurately measure the mass of the Higgs/W/Z boson. A new microwave-beam Compton backscattering method is proposed to measure
the beam energy by detecting the maximum energy of scattered photons. The uncertainty of the beam energy measurement is $6 mathrm{MeV}$. The detection accuracy of the maximum energy of scattered photons need to reach $10^{-4}$. The high-precision gamma detectors can only be a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. It is a semiconductor detector, the effective detection range of the gamma energy is 100$mathrm{keV}$-10$mathrm{MeV}$. The maximum energy of the scattered photons is chosen to be the higher the better to reduce the influence of the synchrotron radiation background. Therefore, the maximum energy of the scattered photons is selected to be 9$mathrm{MeV}$. Therefore, the initial photons should be microwave photons to collide with the electrons with the energy of 120GeV on CEPC. The cylindrical resonant cavity with ${TM_{010}}$ mode is selected to transmit microwaves. After Compton backscattering, the scattered photons emit from the vacuum tube of the synchrotron radiation and the energy is detected by the HPGe detector. The structure of shielding materials with polyethylene and lead is designed to minimize the background noise, such as the synchrotron radiation and the classical radiation from the electron beam in the cavity. The hole radius in the side wall of the cavity is about $1.5mathrm{mm}$ to allow the electron beam to pass through. The computer simulation technology (CST) software shows that the influence of the hole radius on the cavity field is negligible, and the influence of the hole radius on the resonance frequency can be corrected easily.
The dark matter puzzle is one of the most important fundamental physics questions in 21 century. There is no doubt that solving the puzzle will be a new milestone for human beings in the way of deeper understanding the mother nature. Here we propose
to use the Shanghai laser electron gamma source (SLEGS) to search for dark matter candidates particles, including dark pseudo scalar particles, dark scalar particles, and dark photons. Our simulations show that electron facilities like SLEGS with some upgrading could be competitive platforms in searching for light dark matter particles with mass under tens of keV.
The cross section of atomic electron Compton scattering $gamma + e rightarrow gamma^prime + e^prime $ was measured in the 4.40--5.475 GeV photon beam energy region by the {em PrimEx} collaboration at Jefferson Lab with an accuracy of 2% and less. The
results are consistent with theoretical predictions that include next-to-leading order radiative corrections. The measurements provide the first high precision test of this elementary QED process at beam energies greater than 0.1 GeV.
We report on the highest precision yet achieved in the measurement of the polarization of a low energy, $mathcal{O}$(1 GeV), electron beam, accomplished using a new polarimeter based on electron-photon scattering, in Hall~C at Jefferson Lab. A number
of technical innovations were necessary, including a novel method for precise control of the laser polarization in a cavity and a novel diamond micro-strip detector which was able to capture most of the spectrum of scattered electrons. The data analysis technique exploited track finding, the high granularity of the detector and its large acceptance. The polarization of the $180~mu$A, $1.16$~GeV electron beam was measured with a statistical precision of $<$~1% per hour and a systematic uncertainty of 0.59%. This exceeds the level of precision required by the qweak experiment, a measurement of the vector weak charge of the proton. Proposed future low-energy experiments require polarization uncertainty $<$~0.4%, and this result represents an important demonstration of that possibility. This measurement is also the first use of diamond detectors for particle tracking in an experiment.
