The 39 pages that link to Compton scattering, each with the reason it gives.

• Photoelectric effectCompared with: It also demonstrates photon momentum, but the photon is scattered rather than absorbed to eject an electron.

• Rayleigh scatteringCompared with: It is a photon-energy-changing process, unlike elastic Rayleigh scattering.

• Pair productionCompared with: Unlike pair production, it leaves the photon present and does not create a particle–antiparticle pair.

• BremsstrahlungCompared with: It begins with an incoming photon, whereas bremsstrahlung emits a photon during particle deflection.

• Elastic scatteringCompared with: The energy transfer makes this process inelastic for the photon-particle system’s internal channel.

• Thomson scatteringCompared with: It replaces Thomson scattering when photon recoil and quantum effects cannot be neglected.

• Inverse Compton scatteringCompared with: Inverse Compton scattering reverses the usual energy flow: the electron gives energy to the photon.

• Max von LaueCompared with: It demonstrated X-rays’ particle behavior, complementing the wave behavior revealed by Laue diffraction.

• Rutherford scattering experimentsCompared with: It is a distinct scattering phenomenon involving photons rather than alpha particles.

• Charles BarklaCompared with: Its wavelength-shifted radiation contrasts with Barkla’s characteristic secondary X-rays.
