In this study, it has been investigated of the Compton profiles (CP) of the Ar and O 2 gases using a Compton spectrometer having annular 241 Am radioactive source. The photons emitted from the radioactive source and scattered photons from the samples were recorded using HPGe detector. In order to obtain experimental Compton profiles of the samples the Warwick codes were used. The experimental results obtained were compared with the theoretical results calculated by Hartree-Fock method. The results clearly show that the experimental and theoretical results are in good agreement, especially in the high momentum region. It was observed that while the difference between the experimental and theoretical results of Ar and O 2 gases in the p z = 0 region is about 4%, this difference is below 1% after p z = 2.
