Christianity is heading for a full allegorization

What if you don’t use a material all? Send the beam of light through a vacuum?

I would guess the effect is very small in that case. The E&M equations are almost linear, which prevents a strong change.

Quote:Is is my understanding that Compton scattering is usually observed with an X-ray beam and some material.
I don’t know if a beam of electron and a beam of photons has ever been used.

It also happens in space, with x-rays (which are photons) interacting with free electrons. The version in a material is still the xray interacting with the electron. For xray energies, the electrons around an atom are, essentially, free electrons.

In answer to your question, yes, the interaction of a free electron beam and a photon beam is used  is synchrotron radiation facilities:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compton_scattering

"Some synchrotron radiation facilities scatter laser light off the stored electron beam. This Compton backscattering produces high energy photons in the MeV to GeV range[10][11] subsequently used for nuclear physics experiments. "

Quote:close, but not quite right. The photons have to be tuned to the *difference* in energy between two available orbitals. This does NOT require the sample to be a gas. it is also possible for the photon to interact with the electron and ionize the atom.

Yes.

Quote:
Quote:This is correct to a very high degree of accuracy, but not absolutely so. A photon can produce a positron/electron pair, which interacts with another photon before the pair collapses back into a photon. The effect is small, but it exists.

Where did you read about that?

This is a *very* weak effect produced because there can be pair production from one of the photons. This leas to a four-vertex Feynman diagram for the photon-photon interaction. This produces a small non-linear effect in a vaccum for photon-photon interactions.

Again, this is a *very* small effect (I basic estimate is one part in a billion) and tends to only be relevant in very intense sources.

Quote:What is a dipole part?

I'm not understanding the question. The strength of the dipole part is what we call the magnetic moment. Or are you asking what a dipole is?

Quote:Why? What is the shape of the magnetic field around a moving neutron?

Quote:To a very good approximation, it is a dipole (like a magnetic bar). In external magnetic fields, the neutron can develop a quadrupole moment as well.

In general, you cannot change the direction of motion of a dipole by a uniform magnetic field. You nee a field that changes from place to place.

I guess you deleted a quote tag and the formatting is messed up. The forum software should not allow an unpaired quote tag.
I think I understand. A neutron has 2 poles, sort of like a bar magnetic.
Aren't electrons and protons dipoles as well?


But the shape of the magnetic field around a beam of electrons/proton is circular and perpendicular. So, it is possible to use a uniform magnetic field to exert a force on a beam of electron/proton.

So, perhaps, that is the shape of the magnetic field around each individual electron.
This would also mean that one electron pushes on another electron because of the individual magnetic field and their individual charge. So a beam of eletron always diverges.
