Variation in polarization of high-energy gamma quanta traversing a bunch of polarized laser photons
Nov, 1996Citations per year
Abstract:
The elastic light-light scattering below the threshold of the pair production leads to a variation in polarization of hard -quanta traversing without loss a region where the laser light is focused. Equations are obtained which determine the variation of Stokes parameters of -quanta in this case, and their solutions are given. It is pointed out that this effect can be observed in the experiment E-144 at SLAC. It should be taken into account (and, perhaps, it can be used) in experiments at future colliders.- 13.88.+e
