Recoil momentum effects in quantum processes induced by twisted photons
We consider physical processes caused by the twisted photons for a range of energy scales, including optical (eV) and nuclear (MeV). We demonstrate that in order to satisfy angular momentum conservation, absorption of a twisted photon leads to a transverse recoil of the final particle or a system of...
