Hi,

i have a simple question: the photoelectric effect is an electromagnetic interaction so c-parity is conserved. The Photon has C=-1 while the electron is no C eigenstate. So i wondered where the C-Parity has gone after absorption because there does not seem to be any C-eigenstate left.

Thank you.
