Correction of a relativistic impulse approximation expression used to obtain Compton profiles from photon scattering doubly differential cross sections
Abstract:A Compton profile (CP) can provide useful information about the electron populations and distributions in atoms, molecules, and ions to assess many physical properties of matter. However, a CP cannot be measured directly, but must be obtained from scattering data. The CPs discussed in this study are derived from photon-atom doubly differential cross sections (DDCS) via the following expression which is derived from an impulse approximation (IA) theory given by DDCS = KJ, where K represents a kinematic factor a… Show more
