Abstract
The Compton cooling of a photon gas is studied using the Compton-Fokker-Planck equation. Numerical solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation are presented which illustrate the possibility of forming a temporary excess of low-energy photons. The conditions under which it would be possible to observe this excess of low-energy photons are derived. The possibility of using stimulated Compton scattering to generate coherent x rays is also discussed.
