All-optical Compton sources combine laser wakefield accelerators and intense scattering pulses to generate ultrashort bursts of backscattered radiation. The scattering pulse plays the role of a short-period undulator in which relativistic…
Compton scattering between electrons and photons plays a crucial role in astrophysical plasmas. Many important aspects of this process can be captured by using the so-called Compton scattering kernel. For isotropic media, exact analytic…
