Nelms, A T

The Compton energy versus angle relationship and the differential and integral Klein-Nishina cross sections are presented graphically as functions of the energy and direction of the scattered photon and of the recoil electron. These graphs are intended to serve the purpose of tables. Unpolarized primary gamma rays in an energy range from 10 Kev to 500 Mev are considered. The accuracy of all curves is estimated at 1 percent. The advantage of this form of presentation is the convenience and accuracy of two-way interpolation. In general, interpolated values may be obtained with an accuracy of 2 percent.
