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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
