Compton scattering

Compton scattering
SYN: Compton effect.

* * *

Compton scattering n the scattering of a high-energy photon with loss of energy that occurs in the Compton effect

* * *

modified scattering; the deflection of an incident photon by interaction with a free electron or an orbital electron of much lower energy than the photon; the photon is deflected from its original path and gives up part of its energy to displace the electron.
