In this study, we aimed to determine coherent to Compton scattering differential cross section ratios of some inorganic materials (BaSO4, CaF2, Mg2SiO4, MgSO4, and ZnSO4(7H2O)) for several scattering angles (95°, 105°, 115°, 125°, and 135°). Coherent to Compton scattering differential cross section ratios were investigated experimentally by using an HPGe detector, which has a resolution of 199.6 eV at the 5.9 keV. The samples were excited with 59.54 keV gamma rays emitted from Am241 point source. The intensity ratios were corrected due to the photopeak efficiency of the gamma detector and absorption of photons in the target and air. It is observed that coherent to Compton scattering differential cross section ratios decrease with increasing scattering angle.
In this study K-beta/K-alpha (Kβ/Kα) intensity ratios of the elements scandium (Sc), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), bromine (Br), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), and niobium (Nb) have been measured at three azimuthal scattering angles (+30°, 0°, and −30°) for two fixed polar scattering angles (85° and 135°). The elements were excited by 59.54 keV gamma photons emitted from 100 mCi Am241 point source. The obtained experimental values were compared with the theoretical values presented in the literature. It is observed that Kβ/Kα intensity ratios of the investigated elements do not depend on azimuthal angles at fixed polar angles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
