COMPTON-SCATTERING IN INTENSE MAGNETIC-FIELDS

Compton scattering in intense magnetic fields in the general frame of reference is studied with the help of the BED perturbation theory in t he incoming interaction picture. A general expression for the cross se ction is derived which reduces naturally to the one in the electron-re st frame of reference. This expression can be approximately simplified for the scattering of a high-energy electron with a low-frequency pho ton. Based on this simplified expression, spectrum functions, as well as power spectra of scattered photons with high energies resulting fro m the inverse Compton scattering are calculated which manifest clearly a feature of resonances.
