Compton scattering

Input(s)

E0\boldsymbol{E}_{\mathbf{0}}: Energy of the Photon Before Scattering (MeV)(\mathrm{MeV})

me\boldsymbol{m}_{\boldsymbol{e}}: Mass of the Electron (kg)(\mathrm{kg})

C: Velocity of Light Considered as 3*108 (m/s)

θ\theta: Scattering Angle (degree)

Output(s)

E: Energy of the Photon After Scattering (MeV)(\mathrm{MeV})

Formula(s)

E=E01+(E0meC2)(1cos(θ))E=\frac{E_{0}}{1+\left(\frac{E_{0}}{m_{e} * C^{2}}\right) *(1-\cos (\theta))}
