Abstract: (arXiv)
We calculate the Compton scattering for photon and gluon with the Klein-Nishina formula in fixed-target collisions by using the proton and lead beams at AFTER@LHC. In these collisions, we can investigate the particular case of Compton scattering at the partonic level, such as γqqγ\gamma q\rightarrow q\gamma, γqqg\gamma q\rightarrow qg, gqqγgq\rightarrow q\gamma, and gqqggq\rightarrow qg, that can help to check of the equivalent-photon approximation and understand the dynamics of hadron collisions at high energies, as well as probe the inner hadron structure.
