Compton Scattering on Black Body Photons
Abstract
We examine Compton scattering of electrons on black body photons in the case where the electrons are highly relativistic, but the center of mass energy is small in comparison with the electron mass. We derive the partial lifetime of electrons in the LEP accelerator due to this form of scattering in the vacuum beam pipe and compare it with previous results.
