A Compton generator is a type of device used to produce high-energy electrons through the process of Compton scattering, which occurs when high-energy photons (usually from X-rays or gamma rays) collide with electrons, imparting energy to them. This interaction results in the electrons being ejected from their atoms with increased kinetic energy. The term "Compton generator" might refer to various setups or devices in research and experimental physics.
