Oct 7, 2016 at 13:48 comment added Effervescenza Naturale @dmckee I corrected and expanded the Compton part, hope that now it is formally correct while being clear for everyone and not too boring. Thank you for the feedback. And, aehm, I can't list point .3 well formatted without the next one becoming point 4 instead of 1: is that possible?

Even better wording for Compton description, added new photon energy formula.

Oct 6, 2016 at 20:54 comment added Effervescenza Naturale Indeed. It seemed to me that the OP would be interested in the fact that he needs a pre-existent photon for making that work, and that specifying 'destroy and create' would just mess around. I will change 'accelerate' to 'transform', peraphs?
Oct 6, 2016 at 20:49 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Formally all non-trivial photon scattering processes destroy the incoming photon and replace it with a different outgoing photon. Even if you ignore that and take some poetic license and describe the outgoing photon as a transformation of the incoming one "accelerate" is probably not the word you want.
