What is the maximum recoil energy of photons in Inverse Compton Scattering?

[QUOTE="Matt atkinson, post: 5459249, member: 416698"] Sorry i'll do that now! its more the issue of angles I'm struggling with for the maximum value. I found a helpful page on the inverse [URL='https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/anatomy-of-compton-scattering/']compton scattering[/URL] which led me to derive the following equations (electron rest frame is the primed variables): The energy of the final photon in the rest frame of the electron. ## E'_{\gamma_f}=\frac{E'_{\gamma_i}}{1+\frac{E^,_{\gamma_i}}{m_ec^2}(1-cos(\theta'))}\\ E^,_{\gamma_i}=E_{\gamma_i}\gamma(1-\beta cos(\theta') ## I then used the relativistic dopper shift formula back to the lab frame: ## E_{\gamma_f}=E'_{\gamma_f}\gamma(1+\beta cos(\phi))\\ ## where i understand that I've been given ##\gamma## from the electron energy, and from that i can work out ##\beta## but I am just struggling with what angles to use for maximum value of ##E_{\gamma_f}##.
