It seems Compton scattering experiment can be used to determine location of electron by hitting it with photon.
As per Compton scattering. if we measure λ' , λ and θ accurately; the location of electron can be determined.(in theory).
λ' - λ = h(1-cosθ)/m*c
also when θ=π then :
Δp = h*/λ -h*/λ'
Δx = c * Δ t / 2 where Δ t = time interval of photon discharge from source and receiving it on detector.
In this scenario ; can someone please explain how uncertainty principle applies to Compton scattering??
