Feynman diagramms for Photoelectric, Compton, Pair Production

Click For Summary
Feynman diagrams illustrate the interactions of photons in three key processes: photoelectric effect, Compton scattering (including Rayleigh and Thomson scattering), and pair production. Each diagram represents the exchange of virtual particles and interactions between photons and matter. For the photoelectric effect, the diagram shows a photon striking an electron, resulting in the electron's ejection. In Compton scattering, a photon collides with an electron, transferring energy and changing direction. Pair production involves a photon creating a particle-antiparticle pair near a nucleus, depicted by a diagram showing the photon interacting with the field of the nucleus. Understanding these diagrams is crucial for grasping fundamental quantum electrodynamics concepts.

Hello to everyone!

What are the feynman diagramms for the three basic photon interactions?

Photelectric
Compton(compton, Rayleigh and Thomsom scattering)
Pair Production

Thank you in advance!
