Compton scattering in Bandos-Lechner-Sorokin-Townsend nonlinear electrodynamics
Abstract: The nonlinear electrodynamics proposed by Bandos, Lechner, Sorokin and Townsend is a remarkable theory that unifies Maxwell, Bialynicki-Birula and ModMax theories, which are known theories invariant under conformal transformations and electromagnetic duality transformations. In the Bandos-Lechner-Sorokin-Townsend nonlinear electrodynamics, we calculate the energy flux density, dispersion relations, refractive indices, phase and group velocities of plane waves as well as the changes of the photon wavelength in the Compton scattering process in the presence of a constant uniform electromagnetic background. Our results are useful for testing and constraining this new theory of nonlinear electrodynamics.
