Abstract
It is known that the linearly polarized photons can partly transform to circularly polarized ones via forward Compton scattering in a background such as the external magnetic field or noncommutative space time. Based on this fact we explore the effects of the NC-background on the scattering of a linearly polarized laser beam from an intense beam of charged leptons. We show that for a muon/electron beam flux \( {\overline{\varepsilon}}_{\mu, e}\sim 1{0}^{12}/{10}^{10} \) TeV cm−2 sec−1 and a linearly polarized laser beam with energy k 0 ∼1 eV and average power \( {\overline{P}}_{\mathrm{laser}}\simeq 1{0}^3 \) KW, the generation rate of circularly polarized photons is about R V ∼ 104 /sec for noncommutative energy scale ΛNC ∼ 10 TeV. This is fairly large and can grow for more intense beams in near future.
