Jefferson Lab experiment E99-114 — the so-called Real Compton Scattering, or RCS, experiment — explores the scattering of few-GeV photons off the proton at large scattering angles, under which ...

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 ...

A nonlinear Compton scattering experiment with X-ray photons using an X-ray free-electron laser exhibits an unexpected frequency shift — hinting at the breakdown of standard approximations. The X-ray ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists are getting a more detailed look than ever before at the electrons they use in precision experiments. Nuclear physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas ...
