Compton scattering
Input(s)
\(\boldsymbol{E}_{\mathbf{0}}\): Energy of the Photon Before Scattering \((\mathrm{MeV})\)
\(\boldsymbol{m}_{\boldsymbol{e}}\): Mass of the Electron \((\mathrm{kg})\)
C: Velocity of Light Considered as 3*108 (m/s)
\(\theta\): Scattering Angle (degree)
Output(s)
E: Energy of the Photon After Scattering \((\mathrm{MeV})\)
Formula(s)
\[
E=\frac{E_{0}}{1+\left(\frac{E_{0}}{m_{e} * C^{2}}\right) *(1-\cos (\theta))}
\]
