Inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) and spectroscopy have emerged as indispensable tools in modern materials science, chemistry and condensed matter physics. By measuring the energy lost by X-rays after ...
During a deeply inelastic collision with a proton, a relativistic electron (highlighted in blue) can emit a high-energy photon (purple here) that penetrates interior of the proton, where it ‘sees’ ...
