What he did was simply applying the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy, or are you claiming that Compton scattering also assumes a longitudinal photon?
Your treatment of the conservation problem appears to be that you balance the momentum, and then assume that the excess energy (no more and no less) is taken up by the rest of the plasma. You have not shown mathematically that this is so. |
So you are saying that Sylas' mistake is that he has done his sums on the wrong interaction?
