Abstract

In this paper, an approach is proposed to take into account the influence of the finite Rayleigh length of a laser beam on the number of scattered photons in the process of inverse Compton scattering. The method is based on the calculation of the overlap integral between the particle distribution density functions in electron and photon beams, taking into account the change in their sizes and in a total cross section during the collision. It is shown that this effect can have a significant impact on the total number of scattered photons, reducing it. It occurs even at the Rayleigh lengths exceeding the dimensions of the interaction region. We estimated the effect for the parameters of LUXE facility and found it to be very weak. At the same time, for Gauss-Laguerre beams, in which due to the superoscillation effect the Rayleigh length seems to be able to reach very small values, we predict that the effect of the finite Rayleigh length in Compton backscattering will be very distinct, reaching about 20% or more.

期刊介绍： Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section. Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
