Measurement of Electron Mass using Compton Scattering

Published: Jan 1, 2015
Abstract
Compton scattering is the inelastic scattering of a photon by a charged particle and is the predominant interaction mechanism for gamma ray energies typical of radioactive isotopes. In the present experiment, we try to determine the rest mass energy of electron using compton scattering of gamma rays. Gamma rays from 137 Cs was incident on a steel scatterer and the energy of the compton scattered gamma rays (E ) was measured using a High Purity...
