Møller scattering

Møller scattering is the name given to electron-electron scattering in Quantum Field Theory, named after the Danish physicist Christian Møller. The electron interaction that is idealized in Møller scattering forms the theoretical basis of many familiar phenomena such as the repulsion of electrons in the helium atom. While formerly many particle colliders were designed specifically for electron-electron collisions, more recently electron-positron colliders have become more common. Nevertheless Møller scattering remains a paradigmatic process within the theory of particle interactions.
