Delbrück scattering is a quantum electrodynamic effect that involves the scattering of photons by the electromagnetic field of a nucleus. It is named after the physicist Max Delbrück, who contributed to the theoretical understanding of the phenomenon. In Delbrück scattering, a high-energy photon can interact with the electric field of a heavy nucleus, leading to an intermediate state where the photon temporarily produces virtual electron-positron pairs.
