Study of Differential Cross Section for Compton Scattering


Abstract in English

In this work, it has been studied Compton Effect using the 662 keV gamma rays from a radioactive source of cesium-137 (137Cs) intensity (3.33×105 Bq) on Aluminum rod (who plays scatter). It has been measured the differential cross section, and the experimental values of differential cross section compared with theoretical values given by Klein - Nishina equation.
