Abstract:
We present results of Monte Carlo simulation of single and double Compton scattering. The code we developed allows for arbitrary initial conditions (electron energy, photon frequency and scattering geometry). In order to take advantage of the simplicity of the differential cross section in the case of the electron at rest, a Lorentz transformation is performed to a particular reference frame in which the electron momentum is zero and the photon is incident along the third axis, then the scattering is simulated in that frame. In the final step the 4-momenta of the emitted photons and of the recoil electrons are transformed back to the laboratory reference frame. We calculate expectation values of several observables and we analyze the polarization properties of the emitted photons.
