Complete description of polarization effects in the nonlinear Compton scattering. II. Linearly polarized laser photons

Abstract

We consider emission of a photon by an electron in the field of a strong laser wave. Polarization effects in this process are important for a number of physical problems. We discuss a probability of this process for linearly polarized laser photons and for arbitrary polarization of all other particles. We obtain the complete set of functions which describe such a probability in a compact form.
