This process was responsible for making the universe opaque before the era of reionization, and during large-scale structure formation this process is responsible for balancing out accretion heating in a namesake form of cooling. In a scintillator, this process is responsible for cutting off the spectrum just past the double- and single-escape peaks. Around 218 GHz in the spectrum of the CMB, a form of this effect is responsible for boosting the energy of the CMB (*) photons; that inverse form of that effect is name for Sunayev and Zeldovich. In the high-frequency limit, the shift due to this process is equal to quantity one minus cosine theta times h over mc, and this process typically occurs when gamma rays pass through matter. For 10 points, name this effect in which high energy photons lose energy when colliding with an electron.
