Scattering relativistic electrons with optical lasers can result in a significant frequency upshift for the photons, potentially producing $\gamma$-rays. This is what linear Compton scattering taught us. Ultra-intense lasers offer nowadays…

Associated selectron-neutralino production in the process $e^-\gamma\to\tilde e^-\tilde\chi^0$ provides a striking supersymmetric signal: events with a single high $p_\perp$ electron and otherwise only invisible particles. For $e^-\gamma$…
