Effect of the electron motion on the Compton scattering of a twisted photon

We present theoretical and numerical results on the Compton scattering of a twisted Bessel photon by a plane-wave electron with an arbitrary initial velocity. Scattering of a photon prepared in a superposition of Bessel states is also explored. Specifically, we investigate how the electron motion af...
