A Monte Carlo technique is used to calculate the total intensity and spectral distribution of multiple scattered photons in a typical γ-ray Compton scattering experiment. The method can be used to correct experimental Compton profiles for the effect of multiple scattering. The procedure is applied to two profiles of water measured on samples of different thicknesses and the resultant corrected profiles are seen to be independent of the original sample thickness; furthermore their agreement with a recent calculation using a near Hartree-Fock wave function is significantly improved.read more

Compton scattering and electron momentum determination
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the history of the field of Compton-scattered electron scattering and present conditions under which the scattering experiment can be interpreted directly in terms of electron momentum density, and compare the experimental results with gamma-rays, X-rays and electron beams.

Compton scattering and electron momentum distributions
TL;DR: The recent development of the technique of inelastic x-ray scattering to study the electron momentum distribution in the scatterer is surveyed in this paper, where the simple relationship between the electron momenta and the Compton line shape in the impulse approximation is derived, and the validity of that approximation is discussed in the light of recent measurements.
