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 ...
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 ...
Jefferson Lab's Compton polarimeter laser system, used to measure the parallel spin of electrons, is aligned during the Calcium Radius Experiment at Jefferson Lab. Credit: Jefferson Lab/Dave Gaskell ...

Phys. Rev., 49, 8 (1936). Since the experiments recorded above were finished, an account of similar experiments leading to the same results has been published by Bothe and Maier-Leibnitz (Göttingen ...
(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 ...
