  1. Resonance width consideration for Compton rotation in magnetic field A.I. Sery, Brest State A.S. Pushkin University (Brest, Belarus) XII Gomel School «Actual Problems of Microworld Physics» 31.07.2013

  2. I. Introduction

  3. Model of the process: photon is moving in spin polarized electron gas in strong MF (at NS surface, for example)

  4. The difference between Faraday and Compton rotation

  5. Experiments were carried out for the case without magnetic fields. Astrophysical aspect is interesting because of much more favourable conditions for electron spin polarization (the idea of V.G. Baryshevsky and V.V. Tikhomirov)

  6. Compton rotation in different orders of perturbation theory

  7. The algorithm from the following article has been used: Фомин, П.И. Резонансное комптоновское рассеяние во внешнем магнитном поле / П.И. Фомин, Р.И. Холодов // ЖЭТФ. – 2000. – Т.117, вып. 2. – С. 319–325. Phomin, P.I. ResonantComptonscatteringinexternalmagneticfield / P.I. Phomin, R.I. Kholodov // JETP. – 2000

  8. Electron propagator contains the following expressions (multiplied by plane waves): is substituted either for g ( transferred 4-momentum for r-scattering) or for f ( transferred 4-momentum for s-scattering) iare Dirac matrices, iare expressed through The functions Un are expressed through Hermitian functions

  9. II. Results

  10. If resonance widths are not considered then at total spin polarization of electrons we have (here  is the angle between k and B):

  11. If ħ < mec2 then only R-resonance is considered

  12. The following changes are made for R-diagram

  13. If pz0, then the averaging procedure gives (T=0)

  14. Rn is integrated numerically, but for Sn we have

  15. For Sn we have (continued)

  16. Angle of Compton rotation at ne= 1022 cm-3 (table; much greater than at B=0, ne= 1022 cm-3; the angle at B~1010 Gs is also much greater than at B=0)

  17. Angle of Compton rotation

  18. III. Remarks and conclusions

  19. I.e., if other conditions are equal then At B0 the formula is not correct at least because Гn must remain finite

  20. Important remarks Measuring of polarization plane at different  and estimating B (due to Zeemann splitting, gyrolines, etc.)and (at low T, when kT/EF << 1), one can estimate ne. At finite T (it can be estimated by spectroscopic methods) another averaging procedure must be used, and it leads to another formula for the angle of rotation.

  21. Important remarks (continued) • Compton rotation exceeds Faraday rotation at B>109 Gs, when almost all the electrons become free. This is possible only in astrophysics. • Photon splitting competes with Compton rotation at B ~ 1013 Gs. This is also possible only in astrophysics.

  22. Conclusions • the value of Compton rotation changes its sign at resonance (0 is the corresponding frequency) • there are 2 peaks of the value of rotation - 1 at each side of 0 • 0 decreases with increase of  (the angle between k and B) • 0 increases with increase of B • the maximum value of Compton rotation at resonance decreases with increase of either  or B • Compton rotation dominates, at least, at B~1010 Gs (in comparison with photon splitting and Faraday rotation)
