Compton Scattering by K-Shell Electrons of Gold and Holmium.
Abstract
The relative doubly-differential cross section for scattering of 662-keV photons by K-shell electrons was obtained using a Ge(Li) detector. The width of the scattered photon peak was measured and corrections applied to determine the approximate width of the peak due to the energetic motion and binding of the bound electrons. Instrumental and statistical uncertainties provided a significant part of the peak width and the data is not considered to be reliable. The incoherently scattered photons were peaked near the Compton energy for free-stationary electrons.
