Abstract
Astrophysical models need calculations in cross section. It is believed that inverse Compton
scattering in strong magnetic fields near the surfaces of Neutron stars is one of the possible
mechanisms responsible for X-ray and -ray emissions. Spin sum is one fundamental variable in
calculations of scattering cross sections involving charged fermions in magnetic field. In this
thesis we explicitly calculate the spin-sum of the solutions of Dirac equation and using it we
calculate spin-sum corrected total cross of the inverse Compton scattering in the presence of
uniform and strong magnetic field
