Even your beloved Compton scater allows the photon to come back on itself - conservation of linear momentum

Provide quantitative estimates for these "restraining forces" and show that they make an electron oscillate about a position.
And don't come up with out-of-context quotes from sources that deal with high-powered laser in high-density plasma, as you have done before. |
OK... papageno I have quietly followed this discussion through many incarnations and have to ask; does he listen to anything you say?? I only ask because the longer this goes on the more it seems that you are having to repeat the same ideas over and over in different words. |
As long as papageno continues to treat particles in a plasma as neutral atoms in a gas, then I will not listen.
