Abstract:

The paper considers some kinematic conditions for the inverse Compton scattering of photons by relativistic electrons and the polarizations of colliding particles, which affect the value of the differential cross section of the process. A significant influence of the electron and photon helicity on the value of the cross section was found. In the ultrarelativistic case, a surprising effect of an almost twofold increase in the cross section of scattering in the direction of the initial electron momentum was also discovered, when the initial photon momentum is perpendicular to that of the initial electron.

Abstract:

The generation of energetic photons in the context of inverse Compton scattering has attracted a great lot of interest from many contemporary scientific fields. Radiobiology, materials physics, and medicine are some of the current fields where inverse Compton scattering is used. In this study, the applications of nonlinear inverse Compton scattering will be demonstrated and illustrated based on laser plasma interaction. This paper introduces and highlights the current advancement in this area, which is a crucial component of quantum physics, as well as the potential uses in the future depending on additional study. Thorough explanations are demonstrated and talked about the uses of inverse Compton scattering. To highlight our thoughts on present developments and potential future advancements in the field, we have extended and expanded on the theme using simulations and experimental data. These results pave a path to generate and shed light on guiding further state-of-art proposals for High flux X/gamma ray generation.

Abstract:

AbstractInverse Compton Scattering (ICS) is a very important process not only in inner gap physics, but also for radio emission. ICS of high energy particles with thermal photons is the dominant and a very efficient mechanism of the particle energy loss above the neutron star surface, and is an important process in causing gap breakdown. The pulsar distribution in theP−Pdiagram and the observed mode changing phenomenon of some pulsars can be expained by the sparking conditions due to ICS. ICS of the secondary particles with the low frequency wave from the inner gap sparking can be responsible for radio emission. In this ICS model, many observational features of pulsar radio emission can be explained, such as: one core and two conal emission components, their different emission altitudes and relative time delay effects; spectral behavior of pulse profiles; the behavior of the linear polarization and position angle.

Abstract:

It is generally held that >100 TeV emission from astrophysical objects unambiguously demonstrates the presence of PeV protons or nuclei, due to the unavoidable Klein–Nishina suppression of inverse Compton emission from electrons. However, in the presence of inverse Compton dominated cooling, hard high-energy electron spectra are possible. We show that the environmental requirements for such spectra can naturally be met in spiral arms, and in particular in regions of enhanced star formation activity, the natural locations for the most promising electron accelerators: powerful young pulsars. Leptonic scenarios are applied to gamma-ray sources recently detected by the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) and the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). We show that these sources can indeed be explained by inverse Compton emission.

Abstract:

Abstract Compact x-ray sources offering high-brightness radiation for advanced imaging applications are highly desired. We investigate, analytically and numerically, the photon yield of superradiant inverse Compton scattering from microbunched electrons in the linear Thomson regime, using a classical electrodynamics approach. We show that for low electron beam energy, which is generic to inverse Compton sources, the single electron radiation distribution does not match well to collective amplification pattern induced by a density modulated electron beam. Consequently, for head-on scattering from a visible laser, the superradiant yield is limited by the transverse size of typical electron bunches driving Compton sources. However, by simultaneously increasing the electron beam energy and introducing an oblique scattering geometry, the superradiant yield can be increased by orders of magnitude.

Abstract:

We study gamma ray spectra produced by the inverse Compton upscattering of soft photons by relativistic electrons with a one dimensional momentum distribution, which is relevant to gamma ray burst if the source magnetic field is strong enough so that the synchrotron cooling time of transverse energy becomes much shorter than isotropization time via couloub or Compton collisions. We find that for high electron longitudinal temperatures the output power is strongly beamed in the momentum direction and the spectrum softens rapidly with increasing view angle from the momentum direction.

AbstractThe effect of radiation drag on relativistic bulk flows is re-examined. Highly relativistic bulk flows in the nuclear region are subject to Compton drag, i.e. radiation deceleration as a result of inverse Compton scattering of ambient soft photon fields from emission from the accretion disk, broad line region, or dusty torus. Possible observational consequences of X-/γ-ray emission produced from Compton drag are specifically discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract We present a general relativistic radiative transfer code RAIKOU (来光) for multiwavlength studies of spectra and images including the black hole shadows around Kerr black holes. Important radiative processes in hot plasmas around black holes, i.e., (cyclo-)synchrotron, bremsstrahlung emission/absorption, and Compton/inverse-Compton scattering, are incorporated. The Maxwell–Jüttner and single/broken power-law electron distribution functions are implemented to calculate the radiative transfer via both thermal and nonthermal electrons. Two calculation algorithms are implemented for studies of the images and broadband spectra. An observer-to-emitter ray-tracing algorithm, which inversely solves the radiative transfer equation from the observer screen to emitting plasmas, is suitable for an efficient calculations of the images, e.g., the black hole shadows observed by the Event Horizon Telescope, and spectra without Compton effects. On the other hand, an emitter-to-observer Monte Carlo algorithm, by which photons are transported with a Monte Carlo method including the effects of Compton/inverse-Compton scatterings, enables us to compute multiwavelength spectra, with their energy bands broadly ranging from radio to very high energy gamma-ray. The X-ray black hole shadows, which are formed via synchrotron emission and inverse-Compton scattering processes and will be observed in the future X-ray interferometry missions, can be also computed with this algorithm. The code is generally applicable to accretion flows around Kerr black holes with relativistic jets and winds/coronae with various mass accretion rates (i.e., radiatively inefficient accretion flows, super-Eddington accretion flows, and others). We demonstrate an application of the code to a radiatively inefficient accretion flow onto a supermassive black hole.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The afterglow emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is believed to originate from a relativistic blast wave driven into the circumburst medium. Although the afterglow emission from radio up to X-ray frequencies is thought to originate from synchrotron radiation emitted by relativistic, non-thermal electrons accelerated by the blast wave, the origin of the emission at high energies (HE; ≳GeV) remains uncertain. The recent detection of sub-TeV emission from GRB 190114C by the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes (MAGIC) raises further debate on what powers the very high energy (VHE; ≳300 GeV) emission. Here, we explore the inverse Compton scenario as a candidate for the HE and VHE emissions, considering two sources of seed photons for scattering: synchrotron photons from the blast wave (synchrotron self-Compton or SSC) and isotropic photon fields external to the blast wave (external Compton). For each case, we compute the multiwavelength afterglow spectra and light curves. We find that SSC will dominate particle cooling and the GeV emission, unless a dense ambient infrared photon field, typical of star-forming regions, is present. Additionally, considering the extragalactic background light attenuation, we discuss the detectability of VHE afterglows by existing and future gamma-ray instruments for a wide range of model parameters. Studying GRB 190114C, we find that its afterglow emission in the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) band is synchrotron dominated. The late-time Fermi-LAT measurement (i.e. t ∼ 104 s), and the MAGIC observation also set an upper limit on the energy density of a putative external infrared photon field (i.e. ${\lesssim} 3\times 10^{-9}\, {\rm erg\, cm^{-3}}$), making the inverse Compton dominant in the sub-TeV energies.

Abstract:

Recent developments of the synchroton radiation facilities and intense lasers are now guiding us to a new research frontier with probes of a high energy GeV photon beam and an intense and short pulse MeV γ-ray beam. New directions of the science developments with photo-nuclear reactions are discussed. The inverse Compton γ -ray has two good advantages for searching for a microscopic quantum world; they are 1) good emmitance and 2) high linear and circular polarizations. With these advantages, photon beams in the energy range from MeV to GeV are used for studying hadron structure, nuclear structure, astrophysics, materials science, as well as for applying medical science.

The most probable production mechanism is inverse Compton scattering between target photons from the optical companion and disc, and relativistic electrons in the pulsar wind. We present results of a full anisotropic inverse Compton scattering model of the system, taking into account the IR excess from the extended circumstellar disc around the optical companion.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Blazars emit a highly variable non-thermal spectrum. It is usually assumed that the same non-thermal electrons are responsible for the IR-optical-UV emission (via synchrotron) and the gamma-ray emission (via inverse Compton). Hence, the light curves in the two bands should be correlated. Orphan gamma-ray flares (i.e. lacking a luminous low-frequency counterpart) challenge our theoretical understanding of blazars. By means of large-scale two-dimensional radiative particle-in-cell simulations, we show that orphan gamma-ray flares may be a self-consistent by-product of particle energization in turbulent magnetically dominated pair plasmas. The energized particles produce the gamma-ray flare by inverse Compton scattering an external radiation field, while the synchrotron luminosity is heavily suppressed since the particles are accelerated nearly along the direction of the local magnetic field. The ratio of inverse Compton to synchrotron luminosity is sensitive to the initial strength of turbulent fluctuations (a larger degree of turbulent fluctuations weakens the anisotropy of the energized particles, thus increasing the synchrotron luminosity). Our results show that the anisotropy of the non-thermal particle population is key to modelling the blazar emission.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractPSR B1259 – 63 is a 47 ms radio pulsar with a high spin-down luminosity which is in a close, highly eccentric 3·5 yr orbit about a bright stellar companion. The binary system may be a detectable source of hard ã γ-rays produced by inverse Compton scattering of photons from the B2e star SS2883 by electrons and positrons in the pulsar wind. The star provides an enormous density of optical photons in the vicinity of the pulsar, particularly at epochs near periastron. We calculate the emission from the unshocked region of the pulsar wind, assuming that it terminates at a shock where it attains pressure balance with the companion’s wind. The spectra and light curves for the inverse Compton emission from the shock-terminated wind are compared with those for an unterminated wind. If the pulsar’s wind is weaker than that from the companion star, the termination of the wind decreases the inverse Compton flux, particularly near periastron. The termination shock geometry has the effect of decreasing the asymmetry of the γ-ray light curve around periastron, which arises because of the asymmetrical variation of the scattering angle.

Abstract:

Compact X-ray sources based on inverse Compton scattering provide brilliant and partially coherent X-rays in a laboratory environment. The cross section for inverse Compton scattering is very small, requiring high-power laser systems as well as small laser and electron beam sizes at the interaction point to generate sufficient flux. Therefore, these systems are very sensitive to distortions which change the overlap between the two beams. In order to monitor X-ray source position, size and flux in parallel to experiments, the beam-position monitor proposed here comprises a small knife edge whose image is acquired with an X-ray camera specifically designed to intercept only a very small fraction of the X-ray beam. Based on the source position drift recorded with the monitor, a closed-loop feedback stabilizes the X-ray source position by adjusting the laser beam trajectory. A decrease of long-term source position drifts by more than one order of magnitude is demonstrated with this device. Consequently, such a closed-loop feedback system which enables stabilization of source position drifts and flux of inverse Compton sources in parallel to experiments has a significant impact on the performance of these sources.

Abstract:

The X-ray radiation from inverse Compton scattering of CMB photons by the relativistic electrons in ‘radio’ lobes provides a direct measure of their column density at a known energy, unlike synchrotron radiation which also depends on the unknown magnetic field. Thus by combining inverse Compton and radio data we can separately determine the particle energies and field strengths, rather than having to rely on uncertain estimates like minimum energy. The predicted flux is and strong IC signal requires high radio flux and low magnetic field, properties of giant radio galaxies. On the other hand the minimum detectable count rate, Imin, increases with the target size due to the larger background contribution. As a result the detectability of IC X-rays for ROSAT PSPC B measurements is roughly, assuming a spectral index of 0.75. After making detailed prediction of SIC for a number of objects of the 3CR sample, the best candidates were 3C 236, 3C 326, and 4C 73.08.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The convex (concave upward) high-energy X-ray spectra of the blazar PKS 2155-304, observed by XMM-Newton, is interpreted as the signature of subdominant inverse-Compton emission. The spectra can be well fitted by a superposition of two power-law contributions which imitate the emission due to synchrotron and inverse-Compton processes. The methodology adopted enables us to constrain the photon energy down to a level where inverse-Compton emission begins to contribute. We show that this information supplemented with knowledge of the jet Doppler factor and magnetic field strength can be used to constrain the low-energy cut-off γminmec2 of the radiating electron distribution and the kinetic power Pj of the jet. We deduce these quantities through a statistical fitting of the broad-band spectral energy distribution of PKS 2155-304 assuming synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton emission mechanisms. Our results favour a minimum Lorentz factor for the non-thermal electron distribution of γmin ≳ 60, with a preference for a value around γmin ≃ 330. The required kinetic jet power is of the order of Pj ∼ 3 × 1045 erg s−1 in case of a heavy, electron–proton dominated jet, and could be up to an order of magnitude less in case of a light, electron–positron dominated jet. When put in context, our best-fitting parameters support the X-ray emitting part of blazar jets to be dominated by an electron–proton rather than an electron–positron composition.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the effects of physical processes on multiwavelength variability of intermediate polars. Intermediate polars are binary systems consisting of a white dwarf that accretes matter from a red dwarf. This causes variability in the system’s observed brightness and spectra, making intermediate polars variable stars. The process of inverse Compton scattering was simulated for changing parametres of the system. For the simulation, Monte Carlo methods were used. We found that in the hot post-shock region, photon energies are increased by inverse Compton scattering. The effects vary with changing mass accretion rate, where for higher mass accretion rate, photons are upscattered to higher energies.

On hand of 3D PIC simulations we show that in a strongly magnetized plasma a relativistic electron beam can be forced to emit highly coherent radio emission by self-induced nonlinear density fluctuations. Such slowly moving nonlinear structures oscillate with the local plasma frequency at which the relativistic electrons are scattered. Beam electrons dissipate a significant amount of their kinetic energy by inverse Compton radiation at a frequency of about γ2ωpe. Since the beam is sliced into pancake structures which experience the same electric field the inverse Compton scattering is coherent. Such a process is a very promising candidate for the coherent radio emission of pulsars.

Abstract:

AbstractWe have applied theoretical models to explain spectral energy distribution (SED) of three radio-loud broad absorption line (BAL) quasars: an extended hybrid object PG 1004+130 and two compact sources 1045+352 and 3C270.1. We calculate the emission from the very inner part of the sources which accounts for more than 90% of the observed X-ray radiation. In our analysis we consider a scenario in which the observed X-ray emission comes from the inverse-Compton (IC) scattering inside a jet and from the accretion disk corona. The compact objects 1045+352 and 3C270.1 are high-redshift quasars (z = 1.604 and 1.532 respectively), with strong radio cores. We argue that in the case of these two sources a non-thermal, inverse-Compton emission from the innermost parts of the jet can explain a large fraction of the observed X-ray emission. The large scale object PG 1004+130 with a peculiar radio morphology is a low-redshift (z = 0.24), lobe-dominated BAL quasar with a weak radio core. In this case simulated inverse-Compton X-ray emission of the jet is relatively low. However, the corona emission appears strong enough to explain the observed X-ray spectrum of this object.

Abstract:

AbstractIt is shown that for moderately hot polar caps (with effective temperature of ∼106 K), the efficiency of polar gap acceleration is lower compared to the case in which the polar caps are relatively cool and inverse Compton scattering plays no role in controlling the gap. For young pulsars with superstrong magnetic fields (≥109 T) and hot polar caps (with temperature of ≥5 × 106 K), because of the energy loss of electrons or positrons due to resonant inverse Compton scattering in the vicinity of polar caps, pair cascades occur at distances further away from the polar cap, and in this case we have a relatively high acceleration efficiency, with ions carrying most of the particle luminosity.
