Objectives The objectives of this experiment are: (1) to study the interaction of high energy photons with matter, (2) to study photon-electron interactions (3) to study the photoelectric effect with high energy photons interacting with matter, (4) to study the effect of pair producti
Compton scattering involves the scattering of photons by charged particles where both energy and momentum are transferred to the charged particle while the photon moves off with a reduced energy and a change of momentum. Generally, the charged particle is an
