Implication

Theoretical calculation demonstrates substantial azimuthal asymmetry in scattered annihilation radiation, indicating photon scattering partially analyzes partner polarization.

Key Points

To calculate the angular correlation of scattered annihilation photons resulting from their initial mutual cross-polarization state.
Derived mathematical formulations to calculate the angular correlation effect when two annihilation photons undergo subsequent scattering.
Identified a substantial azimuthal asymmetry in the distribution of scattered annihilation radiation.
Showed that scattering of one photon functions as a partial polarization measurement of the entangled partner photon.
