Detector-to-detector Compton backscattering in germanium at 59.5 keV

The differential cross section for Compton scattering {\mathrm{d}}^{2}ensuremath{\sigma}/d\ensuremath{\Omega}dE in germanium (Z=32) was measured using the sensitive volume of a Ge detector as the scatterer and another Ge detector for detection of the scattered radiation, at an incident energy of 59.537 keV and a scattering angle of about 170\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. The application of the coincidence technique and the requirement...
