Compton scattering, whereby high‐energy photons interact with nucleons, serves as a pivotal probe into the structure of matter. This process not only facilitates a direct investigation into the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Compton scattering tomography (CST) is an advanced imaging technique that utilises the deflection of X‐rays—arising from photon–electron interactions—to reconstruct the electron density distributions ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
