Thomson Scattering

Thomson Scattering is the elastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation by a free charged particle, in which the incident radiation induces oscillations in the particle, causing it to re-radiate energy at the same frequency as the incident wave, distinguished from other scattering processes by the non-relativistic, free-particle approximation and the absence of significant energy transfer between the photon and the particle.
