title = "Demonstration of high photon yields and nonlinearity in relativistic thomson scattering",
abstract = "We present a progress report on the BNL's experiment on Thomson scattering from 60 MeV electrons in a counter-propagating terawatt CO2 laser beam. The measured x-ray yield averages to one photon per electron within the laser/e-beam overlap region. The observed changes in the spectral and polar distributions of the x-ray beam with the increase of the laser intensity mark the onset of a strong nonlinearity. This indicates that electron's oscillation in the laser field transforms to the figure-eight trajectory.",
