The highest energy photons are believed to be created by inverse Compton scattering by a high temperature corona near the black hole.

In 1923, at the Washington University in St . Louis, Arthur Holly Compton demonstrated an effect now known as Compton scattering.
23.
Both devices exploit the spin-dependent cross section for Compton scattering of circularly polarised photons off positrons to measure the beam polarisation.
24.
Compton scattering is usually cited in reference to the interaction involving the electrons of an atom, however nuclear Compton scattering does exist.

26.
The simplest worked example is called Compton scattering, in which incident light hits matter and exchanges momentum and energy with an electron.
27.
In 1928, he wrote a paper on incoherent or Compton scattering with Oskar Klein in Copenhagen, from which the Klein Nishina formula derives.

Maier-Leibnitz worked on nuclear spectroscopy, electron-gamma-ray coincidence measurements, radioactive tracers, and energy conservation in Compton scattering.
29.
X-ray crystallography or, strictly speaking, an inelastic Compton scattering experiment has also provided evidence for the partly covalent character of hydrogen bonds.
30.
For gamma rays ( uncharged ), their energy is converted to an energetic electron via either the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering or pair production.
