It is a hard read by modern standards, and mixes quite a bit of theory in at first with later experimental results. The old jargon takes some tracking down, and the propensity of using wavelength in fractions of an angstrom as the unit of measure takes some getting used to.$$I = I\dfrac{Ne^4}{2R^2m^2c^4}\dfrac{1 + \cos^2\theta + 2\alpha (1 + \alpha)(1-\cos\theta )^2}{(1 + \alpha (1-\cos\theta))^5}$$$… text/html 2026-02-03T17:11:55+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://physlab-wiki.com/phylabs/lab_courses/phys-211-wiki-home/compton-scattering/start?rev=1770156715&do=diff Compton Scattering TA Notes Arthur Holly Compton was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1927 for his work (published in 1923) of careful spectroscopic measurements of x-rays scattered at various angles by light elements.
