Thomson scattering is the elastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation by a free charged particle, as described by classical electromagnetism. It is...

Compton scattering (or the Compton effect) is the quantum theory of high frequency photons scattering following an interaction with a charged particle...

classical electron radius is sometimes known as the Lorentz radius or the Thomson scattering length. It is one of a trio of related scales of length, the other...
