Abstract

Spatial distribution of intensity, degree and direction of linear polarization of tagged photon beam, which is obtained due to Compton backscattering of laser light on high-energy electron beam, are calculated. Effects of angular dispersion and spatial spread of electron beam are taken into account. Calculations have been carried out for the example of LEGS facility.
