Scientific paper

Compton scattering of photons by charged particles in the presence of a strong homogeneous external magnetic field is analyzed. The approach consists of combining the method provided by source theory with the mass-operator technique discussed by Schwinger (1975) with respect to synchrotron radiation. The 'mass operator' of the electron is calculated for the situation of a combined radiation and constant electromagnetic field, radiative corrections to the forward Compton scattering in the external field are computed, and the lowest-order Compton cross section is determined through the optical theorem. The classical and weak-field limits are noted along with other investigations that have used proper-time or mass-operator techniques.
