I was interested in laser assisted electron-atom collisions and wasn't clear on how the laser "assists" in the collision.
for example,
does the laser carry the electron to the atom or vice-versa? if so how does it do it?
Thanks Simon,
From what your saying, The electron emits a photon with a certain probability that it will be emitted in the direction of the observer. Assuming the observer can influence the electron and hence the statistical analysis, the probability of the direction the photon takes maybe...
Hi, (1st time post)
When energy is given to an electron and then removed.
Is there a classical/quantum description that governs which direction the emited photon will take?
Thanks in advance, If anyone can help answer this one.
