Synchrotron Self Compton
SSC
- single scattering (Blumenthal&Gould, 1970)
- very compact nozzle
- high electron temperature
- low optical depth
- no pairs included

Multiple Compton
- multiple scattering (Blumenthal&Gould, 1970)
- no need for compact nozzle
- lower electron temperature
- higher optical depth
- pairs still not included, but…
