Compton Scattering - High Energy Physics
(revised 4/27/01) Compton ScatteringAdvanced Laboratory, Physics 407 University of WisconsinMadison, Wisconsin 53706 AbstractThe Compton Scattering of the 662 keV gamma rays from the decay ofCs137is measured using a Sodium Iodide detector. The scattered Energy andthe differential cross section are both measured as a function of scatteringangle, and the results are compared to the full relativistic quantum theoryof Compton effect is the elastic Scattering of photons from a reaction, the process is: +e +e .Since this is a two body elastic Scattering process, the angle of the scat-tered photon is completely correlated with the Energy of the scattered photonby Energy and momentum conservation. This relation is usually written as: = =hmc(1 cos )(1)where and are the wavelengths of the incident and scattered photonrespectively, and is the photon Scattering Energy of a photon is related to its frequency and wavelength as:E=h =hc/ (2)wherecis the velocity of light.
The Compton scattering of the 662 keV gamma rays from the decay of Cs137 is measured using a Sodium Iodide detector. The scattered energy and the differential cross section are both measured as a function of scattering angle, and the results are compared to the full relativistic quantum theory of radiation.
