[edit] Redirect

Electron scattering redirects to this page, but this must be a mistake? In my opinion, "Electron scattering" refers to the scattering of electrons (for example by atoms), not scattering _by_ electrons. If no-one objects, I'll remove the redirect and just write a small stub article on "Electron scattering". O. Prytz 22:58, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Compton Scattering

I found it surprising that there's no mention of Compton scattering on this page, even though the only difference seems to be whether or not the electron absorbs energy from the incident photon. I can't really think where to fit it in though... Warrickball (talk) 14:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
