    13.1 Introduction to Compton Scattering Compton scattering is a phenomenon that occurs when an incident photon interacts with a free or weakly bound electron, resulting in a decrease in the energy (increase in the wavelength) of the scattered photon. This interaction demonstrates both the wave-like and particle-like nature of electromagnetic radiation, as it can be…

    Introduction Scattering theory is a framework in physics that is used to study and understand the interactions of particles and fields. It is especially important in quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and particle physics, as well as in classical wave phenomena like light scattering. Basic Principle Scattering involves an incident wave or particle that is…
