Improved Calculations of X-Ray and Inelastic Electron Scattering Compton Profiles.

Abstract

The Compton Defect Problem has been studied in several different approximations. Within the EH approximation, we have obtained an analytic expression for the 'local maximum' Compton defect at high momentum transfers. This analytic result gives good agreement with the electron scattering helium data at large angles, and reasonable agreement with the lithium and beryllium Compton defects determined from x-ray measurements. We have also performed very careful EHS defect calculations in helium by determining the center of gravity of the COMPTON profile in the same manner as the experiment.
