Abstract

A complete, three-dimensional theory of Compton scattering is described, which fully takes into account the effects of the electron beam emittance and energy spread upon the scattered X-ray spectral brightness. This formalism is then applied to Compton scattering in a three-dimensional laser focus, and yields a complete description of the influence of the electron beam phase space topology on the X-ray spectral brightness; analytical expressions including the effects of emittance and energy spread are also obtained in the one-dimensional limit
