Bhabha scattering

Okay kiddo, let's talk about bhabha scattering!

You know how everything in the world is made up of tiny particles called atoms? Well, these atoms are even made up of even tinier things called electrons.

When two electrons come close to each other, they can interact in different ways - one of the ways is called bhabha scattering. In this process, one electron emits a special type of particle called a photon. The other electron interacts with this photon and bounces off in a different direction.

Think of it like two balls bouncing off each other - except, instead of balls, we have electrons and a photon.

Scientists study bhabha scattering to learn more about the properties of these tiny particles and the way they interact with each other. It's kind of like how you might play with toys to learn more about them - scientists play with electrons and photons to learn more about how they work!

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions!
