Abstract: 
By calculation of the classical Newton-Lorentz equation and neglecting the radiation reaction, we find that when an electron is scattered by an intense continuous monochromatic laser beam (Q = eE/(m(e)wc) > 0.1 in the interaction region), there can be not only momentum transfer but also noticeable energy transfer between the free electrons and the laser beam. This kind of inelastic effect comes from nonlinear Compton scattering.
