Theoretical and Experimental Compton Scattering Cross Sections at 1.12 MeV in the Case of Strongly Bound K-Shell Electrons
Abstract
Measurements are reported for the differential cross sections for Compton scattering of 1.12 MeV gamma rays by the K-shell electrons of tin, tantalum, gold, and thorium. A few discrepancies between approximate theoretical calculations and the experimental results for different energies are pointed out. The need for an exact relativistic calculation is indicated.
