does anybody know a book, where the compton-scattering with respect to the initial photon-polarisation is calculated? (beside landau-lifschitz-berestetzki)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I assume you mean a computation of the cross section without averaging over the initial polarization. I believe this is done (though I haven't checked to be sure) in Bjorken and Drell vol.1, and also in Weinberg vol.1.
 
thank you very much! i'll look these books up tomorrow!

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
