CMBR photons gain energy in the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, which is an example of the inverse type of this process.
An equation for this process is corrected by multiplying by the Breit-Dirac recoil factor, raised to the second or third power, to account for radiation pressure. An important parameter for this process is equal to Planck's constant over a particle's rest mass times the speed of light. CMBR photons gain energy in the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, which is an example of the inverse type of this process. At higher energies, the differential cross-section of this process can be calculated using the Klein-Nishina formula while at lower energies, an analog of it named for Thomson occurs. The wavelength change for this relativistic, inelastic process depends only on the angle of scattering. For 10 points, identify this type of scattering, named for an American physicist, in which a photon is scattered by a charged particle.
