Light can be used to knock electrons out of atoms, with light particles and electrons bouncing off each other like two billiard balls - Compton scattering. Why electrons can even be ejected from an ...

Compton scattering of photons off nucleons provides a unique probe of the electromagnetic structure of protons and neutrons. In the low-energy regime, the nucleon’s response to an applied ...

Particle physicists in the US have gained new insights into what happens when a high-energy photon scatters inelastically off a proton. According to perturbative quantum chromodynamics, the momentum ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new high-resolution x-ray Compton scattering method to visualize the perturbation of redox orbitals in energy-storage materials. The new ...

THE infra-red catastrophe in the higher-order radiative corrections to electron scattering has been well known and shown to disappear when the virtual processes are considered along with the real ...

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

Researchers from Skoltech, MEPhI, and the Dukhov All-Russian Research Institute of Automation have proposed a new method to create compact gamma-ray sources that are simultaneously brighter, sharper, ...
