Hi

I am trying to find information about the polarization state of a photon after it has been compton scattered.

The photon is initially linearly polarized, has a known incoming energy, scattering angle and released energy.

Say we ave incoming propagation along the z axis and E field of the photon along the x axis.
How can i calculate the components of the polarization after the scattering?

Thank you for your help!
