abstract

We investigate the twisted state of an atom and the possible effect of such a state on the properties of the photons emitted as a result of an electron transition in that atom. We first propose a framework for describing the twisted atomic state, and then explore possible differences in the nuclear recoil effects in the twisted atom compared to those in the plane-wave atom. We conclude that if the initial atomic state is twisted, then the photon distribution is altered. We point out that in a certain observation scheme, one can detect a feature of this twist in the distribution of the emitted photons, even in zero order in $m/M$.

  1. On Compton ionization of a hydrogen atom by twisted photons

    physics.atom-ph 2024-12 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    With a finite-size target, Compton ionization by twisted photons is claimed to coincide with ionization by a particular plane-wave photon, yielding no new angular distributions.
