We determine the Compton effect from the Volkov solution of the Dirac equation for a process in a medium with the index of refraction n. Volkov solution involves the mass shift, or, the mass renormalization of an electron mass. We determine…
A photon source is located in a rotating waveguide. An absorber with a sharp absorbing frequency absorbs some of the emitted photons. This decreases the number of photons which are detected by a detector. The frequency (energy) spectrum…
