In the following Møller scattering process, two electrons enter, exchange a photon and then leave (and if I understand this correctly, we say that both of the electrons emitted a photon).
However, in this case:
We have an electron scattering off a photon, but the interaction happens by an exchange of electron, is that correct? Why is it not the case that photon mediates the interaction between the photon and the electron since photons are the mediators of the EM force?
