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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

WHEN a beam of X-rays passes through a medium, three kinds of phenomena may be observed: the photoelectric effect, the Compton effect, and the socalled classical scattering. The conversion of the ...
