Abstract
The paper considers some kinematic conditions for the inverse Compton scattering of photons by relativistic
electrons and the polarizations of colliding particles, which affect the value of the differential cross section
of the process. A significant influence of the electron and photon helicity on the value of the cross section
was found. In the ultrarelativistic case, a surprising effect of an almost twofold increase in the cross section
of scattering in the direction of the initial electron momentum was also discovered, when the initial photon
momentum is perpendicular to that of the initial electron.
