In a free space, the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect is a small spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) spectrum caused by inverse Compton scattering of microwave background photons from energetic electrons in the plasma. However, the microwave does not propagate with a plane waveform in a resonant cavity, the inverse Compton scattering process is a little different from that in a free space. By taking the Fourier expansion of the microwave field in the cavity, the coefficients of the first-order and the higher-order terms describe the local-space effect on the linear and nonlinear inverse Compton scattering respectively. With our theoretical results, the linear or nonlinear inverse Compton scattering cross section between microwave photons and electrons has important applications on the energy calibration of the extremely energetic electron beam, the sources of the terahertz waves, the extreme ultra-violet (EUV) waves or the mid-infrared beams.

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 generate inverse Compton scattered X-rays in both linear and nonlinear regimes with a 250 MeV laser wakefield electron accelerator and plasma mirror by retro-reflecting the unused drive laser light to scatter from the accelerated electrons. We cha
racterize the X-rays using a CsI(Tl) voxelated scintillator that measures their total energy and divergence as a function of plasma mirror distance from the accelerator exit. At each plasma mirror position, these X-ray properties are correlated with the measured fluence and inferred intensity of the laser pulse after driving the accelerator to determine the laser strength parameter $a_0$. The results show that ICS X-rays are generated at $a_0$ ranging from $0.3pm0.1$ to $1.65pm0.25$, and exceed the strength of co-propagating bremsstrahlung and betatron X-rays at least ten-fold throughout this range of $a_0$.
The collision of ultra-relativistic electron beams with intense short laser pulses makes possible to study QED in the high-intensity regime. Present day high-intensity lasers mostly operate with short pulse durations of several tens of femtoseconds,
i.e. only a few optical cycles. A profound theoretical understanding of short pulse effects is important not only for studying fundamental aspects of high-intensity laser matter interaction, but also for applications as novel X- and gamma-ray radiation sources. In this article we give a brief overview of the theory of high-intensity QED with focus on effects due to the short pulse duration. The non-linear spectral broadening in non-linear Compton scattering due to the short pulse duration and its compensation is discussed.
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 large time behavior of quantum walks (QWs) with self-dependent (nonlinear) coin. In particular, we show scattering and derive the reproducing formula for inverse scattering in the weak nonlinear regime. The proof is based on space-time estim
ate of (linear) QWs such as dispersive estimates and Strichartz estimate. Such argument is standard in the study of nonlinear Schrodinger equations and discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equations but it seems to be the first time to be applied to QW.
