Compton interactions

Compton interactions are like billiard type collisions.

Because the binding energies are small compared to the photon energy, so the photon sees the electron as a "free" electron in a Compton interaction.

I always think of playing pool in Compton, California which is something i might not have the courage to do in real life!
