Compton Scattering of Gamma-Ray Vortex

ORAL

Abstract

We study Compton scattering of photons described by Laguerre Gaussian (LG) and Hermite Gaussian (HG) wave functions in the framework of relativistic quantum mechanics.   Recently, it is expected to observed such vortex photons in astronomical phenomenon.

The momentum of scattered photon distributes outside of the reaction plane determined by the incident photon and the scattered electron, and hence the energy of the scattered photon also distributes.  In this work we will report methods to identify the gamma-ray vortex using Compton scattering.
