Coherent Compton Effect

The Čerenkov-Compton effect

The two-photon production by motion of a charged particle in a medium is considered. This process is called Čerenkov-Compton effect (ČCE) because the production of photons is calculated from the Feynman diagram for the Compton effect in a medium. This process is not forbidden in quantum electrodynamics of dielectric media.The cross section of this process in Mandelstam variables is calculated. ...

Coherent Compton scattering on light nuclei in the ∆-resonance region

Coherent Compton scattering on light nuclei in the ∆ resonance region is studied in the impulse approximation and is shown to be a sensitive probe of the in-medium properties of the ∆ resonance. The elementary amplitude on a single nucleon is calculated from the unitary K-matrix approach developed previously. Modifications of the properties of the ∆ resonance due to the nuclear medium are accou...

A Wave Interpretation of the Compton Effect

The Compton effect is commonly cited as a demonstration of the particle feature of light. In this investigation, we present an alternative interpretation of the Compton effect based on the postulates of de Broglie and on the wave scattering from a spaceand timevarying medium, without explicit resort to the conservation of energy and momentum.
