Nonlinear Compton scattering with a multi-petawatt laser mimics astrophysical phenomena
Nonlinear Compton scattering requires an electron to absorb multiple laser photons while emitting a single high-energy gamma-ray photon. To observe this phenomenon, researchers approached the ...

A reaction that only measured protons detected neutrons for the first time
They recently used the detector in a reaction called deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS ... Also, neutrons usually scatter at a 40-degree angle, which is outside the detection range of ...
