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 ...

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 incident plane-wave laser is tuned by a diffractive optical part like grating or prism, and then being transformed into a tilted pulse laser. This tilted pulse is then focused by a sOAP mirror. A ...

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 ...

X-ray backscatter AIT uses a narrow beam of X-ray photons with energies, hv, less than 100 keV. 2 There are five basic interactions that can occur as X rays penetrate material. These are the ...

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, ...
