Scattering Process

Extended abstractThomson scattering in pulsar magnetospheres has previously been studied by several authors. The most distinguishing feature is the fact that the super-strong magnetic field (B ~ 1012 G) greatly affects the Thomson scattering process, resulting in resonances in the scattering cross-section (Canuto et al. 1971; Herold 1979; Chou 1986; Daugherty and Harding 1986). The important consequences of these cyclotron resonances are the increase in the photon mean free path in the scattering regions, and strongly affecting the angular distribution, and polarisation properties of the scattered photons (Chou 1986; Chou et al. 1989).
