Pulsed-laser nonlinear Thomson scattering for general scattering geometries.
In a recent paper it has been shown that single electron Thomson backscatter calculations can be performed including the effects of pulsed high intensity lasers. In this paper we present a more detailed treatment of the problem and present results for more general scattering geometries. In particular, we present new results for 90 degrees Thomson scattering. Such geometries have been increasingly studied as x-ray sources of short-pulse radiation. Also, we present a clearer physical basis for these different cases.
