Compton backscattering of Hf K X-rays in germanium

The differential cross section, d^2sigma/d omega dE, for Compton scattering in germanium was measured by observing detector-to-detector scattering using the coincidence method. The experiment was performed at incident energies of 55.791 and 54.612 keV and scattering angle of J = 180°. The method applied is compared with the corresponding measurements in the singles mode, i.e. using the source-scatterer-detector assembly. We found that the...
