Nonlinear effects in Compton scattering at photon colliders
The backward Compton scattering is a basic process at future higher energy
photon colliders. To obtain a high probability of e->gamma conversion the
density of laser photons in the conversion region should be so high that
simultaneous interaction of one electron with several laser photons is possible
(nonlinear Compton effect). In this paper a detailed consideration of energy
spectra, helicities of final photons and electrons in nonlinear backward
Compton scattering of circularly polarized laser photons is given.
Distributions of gamma-gamma luminosities with total helicities 0 and 2 are
investigated. Very high intensity of laser wave leads to broadening of the
energy (luminosity) spectra and shift to lower energies (invariant masses).
Beside complicated exact formulae, approximate formulae for energy spectrum and
polarization of backscattered photons are given for relatively small nonlinear
parameter xi^2 (first order correction). All this is necessary for optimization
of the conversion region at photon colliders and study of physics processes
where a sharp edge of the luminosity spectrum and monochromaticity of
collisions are important.Comment: 21 pages, Latex, 6 figures(.ps), Talk at International Workshop on

The lowest order inelastic QED processes at polarized photon-electron high energy collisions
The compact expressions for cross sections of photoproduction of a pair of
charged particles ; ; as
well as the double Compton scattering process are given. The explicit analytic
expressions for the case of polarized photon and the initial electron in the
kinematics when all the particles can be considered as a massless ones are
presented. The photon polarization is described in the terms of Stokes
parameters.Comment: LaTeX2e, 9 page
Angular Dependence of the Polarization Transfer to the Proton in the Process
The dependence of the longitudinal polarization transfer to the proton in the
process on the proton scattering angle has been
numerically analyzed for the case where the initial (at rest) proton is
partially polarized along the direction of motion of the detected recoil
proton. The analysis is based on the results of JLab polarization experiments
on measuring the ratio of the Sachs form factors in the
process using the Kelly (2004) and Qattan (2015) parameterizations for their
ratio, in the kinematics of the SANE Collaboration experiment (2020) on
measuring the double spin asymmetry in the process. It
is shown that the violation of the scaling of the Sachs form factors leads to a
significant increase in the magnitude of the polarization transfer to the
proton in comparison with the case of dipole dependence.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables; version published in the JETP Letter
New Method for Measuring the Ratio Based on the Polarization Transfer from the Initial Proton to the Final Electron in the Process
In this letter, we propose a new method for measuring the Sachs form factors
ratio () based on the transfer of polarization from the
initial proton to the final electron in the elastic
process, in the case when the axes of quantization of spins of the target
proton at rest and of the scattered electron are parallel, i.e., when an
electron is scattered in the direction of the spin quantization axis of the
proton target. To do this, in the kinematics of the SANE collaboration
experiment (2020) on measuring double spin asymmetry in the process, using Kelly (2004) and Qattan (2015) parametrizations, a numerical
analysis was carried out of the dependence of the longitudinal polarization
degree of the scattered electron on the square of the momentum transferred to
the proton, as well as on the scattering angles of the electron and proton. It
is established that the difference in the longitudinal polarization degree of
the final electron in the case of conservation and violation of scaling of the
Sachs form factors can reach 70%. This fact can be used to set up polarization
experiments of a new type to measure the ratio .Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables, for greater clarity, some minor

QED peripheral mechanism of pair production at colliders
Cross section of the processes of neutral pion production as well as pairs of
charged fermions and bosons in peripherical interaction of leptons, photons are
calculated in main logarithmical approximation. We investigate the phase
volumes and differential cross sections. The differential cross section of few
neutral pions and a few pairs production are written down explicitly.
Considering the academic problem of summation on the number of pairs for the
case of massless particles we reproduce the known results obtained in seventies
of last century. The possibility to construct the generator for Monte-Carlo
modeling of this processes basing of this results are discussed.Comment: 25 pages, 5 figure
Polarized triplet production by circularly polarized photons
A process of the pair production by a circularly polarized photon in the
field of unpolarized atomic electron has been considered in the
Weizaecker-Williams approximation. The degree of longitudinal polarization of
positron and electron has been calculated. An exclusive cross-section as well
as a spectral distribution are obtained. We estimate the accuracy of our
calculations at the level of a few percent. We show the identity of the
positron polarization for considered process and for process of pair production
in the screened Coulomb field of nucleus.Comment: 9 pages, 3 picture
