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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Inverse Compton scattering is a pivotal physical process wherein low‐energy photons are boosted to X-ray and γ-ray energies after colliding with relativistic electrons. This mechanism underpins the ...
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 ...
A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser.
