compton scattering in a sentence
Examples
- The highest energy photons are believed to be created by inverse Compton scattering by a high temperature corona near the black hole.
- In 1923, at the Washington University in St . Louis, Arthur Holly Compton demonstrated an effect now known as Compton scattering.
- Both devices exploit the spin-dependent cross section for Compton scattering of circularly polarised photons off positrons to measure the beam polarisation.
- Compton scattering is usually cited in reference to the interaction involving the electrons of an atom, however nuclear Compton scattering does exist.
- Compton scattering is usually cited in reference to the interaction involving the electrons of an atom, however nuclear Compton scattering does exist.
- The simplest worked example is called Compton scattering, in which incident light hits matter and exchanges momentum and energy with an electron.
- In 1928, he wrote a paper on incoherent or Compton scattering with Oskar Klein in Copenhagen, from which the Klein Nishina formula derives.
- Maier-Leibnitz worked on nuclear spectroscopy, electron-gamma-ray coincidence measurements, radioactive tracers, and energy conservation in Compton scattering.
- X-ray crystallography or, strictly speaking, an inelastic Compton scattering experiment has also provided evidence for the partly covalent character of hydrogen bonds.
- For gamma rays ( uncharged ), their energy is converted to an energetic electron via either the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering or pair production.
