- Project Abstract:
We reviewed the work of Kiessling, Lienert and Tahvildar-Zadeh on relativistic interacting dynamics of a two-body quantum-mechanial system consisting of one electron and one photon in one space dimension. We conducted numerical experiments to explore the role of various parameters in the theory and their influence on the trajectories of the two particles, and we studied the possibility of applying this theory to the analysis of Compton scattering.
