Step 1: Configure Event generator in which electron parameters can be changes. Move the source left and right of the center. Change is momentum direction; going left and going right.

Step 2: comment out electron and add gamma. get it to move in the same way.

Step 3: turn them both on

Step 4: if fail then find references on event Generator with 2 intersecting beams, perhaps ILC, LHC or BaBar has one.

Problem last week was due to editing the wrong file.

We now have a event generator which starts an electron and a photon moving toward eachother.

We see and event when the photon energy is 500 keV and only the compton process is turned on.

Next step:
