We study single, double and higher-order nonlinear Compton scattering where an electron interacts nonlinearly with a high-intensity laser and emits one, two or more photons. We study, in particular, how double Compton scattering is separated into one-step and two-step parts, where the latter is obtained from an incoherent product of two single-photon emissions. We include all contributions to double Compton scattering and show that the exchange term, which was not calculated in previous constant-crossed field studies, is in general on the same order of magnitude as the other one-step terms. Our approach reveals practically useful similarities between double Compton scattering and the trident process, which allows us to transfer some of our previous results for trident to double Compton scattering. We provide a new gluing approach for obtaining the dominant contribution to higher-order Compton scattering for long laser pulses. Unlike the standard gluing approach, our new approach does not require the intensity parameter $a_0$ to be much larger than one. For `hard photons we obtain several saddle-point approximations for various field shapes.

We study the photon trident process, where an initial photon turns into an electron-positron pair and a final photon under a nonlinear interaction with a strong plane-wave background field. We show that this process is very similar to double Compton
scattering, where an electron interacts with the background field and emits two photons. We also show how the one-step terms can be obtained by resumming the small- and large-$chi$ expansions. We consider a couple of different resummation methods, and also propose new resummations (involving Meijer-G functions) which have the correct type of expansions at both small and large $chi$. These new resummations require relatively few terms to give good precision.
Inverse Compton scattering (ICS) is a unique mechanism for producing fast pulses - picosecond and below - of bright X- to gamma-rays. These nominally narrow spectral bandwidth electromagnetic radiation pulses are efficiently produced in the interacti
on between intense, well-focused electron and laser beams. The spectral characteristics of such sources are affected by many experimental parameters, such as the bandwidth of the laser, and the angles of both the electrons and laser photons at collision. The laser field amplitude induces harmonic generation and importantly, for the present work, nonlinear red shifting, both of which dilute the spectral brightness of the radiation. As the applications enabled by this source often depend sensitively on its spectra, it is critical to resolve the details of the wavelength and angular distribution obtained from ICS collisions. With this motivation, we present here an experimental study that greatly improves on previous spectral measurement methods based on X-ray K-edge filters, by implementing a multi-layer bent-crystal X-ray spectrometer. In tandem with a collimating slit, this method reveals a projection of the double-differential angular-wavelength spectrum of the ICS radiation in a single shot. The measurements enabled by this diagnostic illustrate the combined off-axis and nonlinear-field-induced red shifting in the ICS emission process. They reveal in detail the strength of the normalized laser vector potential, and provide a non-destructive measure of the temporal and spatial electron-laser beam overlap.
We discuss intensity effects in collisions between beams of optical photons from a high-power laser and relativistic electrons. Our main focus are the modifications of the emission spectra due to realistic finite-beam geometries. By carefully analyzi
ng the classical limit we precisely quantify the distinction between strong-field QED Compton scattering and classical Thomson scattering. A purely classical, but fully covariant, calculation of the bremsstrahlung emitted by an electron in a plane wave laser field yields radiation into harmonics, as expected. This result is generalized to pulses of finite duration and explains the appearance of line broadening and harmonic substructure as an interference phenomenon. The ensuing numerical treatment confirms that strong focussing of the laser leads to a broad continuum while higher harmonics become visible only at moderate focussing, hence lower intensity. We present a scaling law for the backscattered photon spectral density which facilitates averaging over electron beam phase space. Finally, we propose a set of realistic parameters such that the observation of intensity induced spectral red-shift, higher harmonics, and their substructure, becomes feasible.
The backward Compton scattering is a basic process at future higher energy photon colliders. To obtain a high probability of e->gamma conversion the density of laser photons in the conversion region should be so high that simultaneous interaction of
one electron with several laser photons is possible (nonlinear Compton effect). In this paper a detailed consideration of energy spectra, helicities of final photons and electrons in nonlinear backward Compton scattering of circularly polarized laser photons is given. Distributions of gamma-gamma luminosities with total helicities 0 and 2 are investigated. Very high intensity of laser wave leads to broadening of the energy (luminosity) spectra and shift to lower energies (invariant masses). Beside complicated exact formulae, approximate formulae for energy spectrum and polarization of backscattered photons are given for relatively small nonlinear parameter xi^2 (first order correction). All this is necessary for optimization of the conversion region at photon colliders and study of physics processes where a sharp edge of the luminosity spectrum and monochromaticity of collisions are important.
We study the doubly virtual Compton scattering off a spinless target $gamma^*Ptogamma^*P$ within the Anti-de Sitter(AdS)/QCD formalism. We find that the general structure allowed by the Lorentz invariance and gauge invariance of the Compton amplitude
is not easily reproduced with the standard recipes of the AdS/QCD correspondence. In the soft-photon regime, where the semi-classical approximation is supposed to apply best, we show that the measurements of the electric and magnetic polarizabilities of a target like the charged pion in real Compton scattering, can already serve as stringent tests.
