Compton Scattering

Compton Scattering is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which a high-energy photon inelastically scatters off a free or loosely bound electron, resulting in a decrease in photon energy and a corresponding increase in electron kinetic energy, distinguished from other photon-matter interactions by the measurable wavelength shift of the scattered photon dependent on scattering angle.
