Description

Coherent and incoherent scattering cross sections have been measured using a high purity germanium detector on elements in the range of Z = 13-50 using 241Am gamma rays. The cross sections have been derived by comparing the net count rate obtained from the Compton peak of aluminum with the elastic/Compton peak of the target element. The measured cross sections for the coherent and incoherent processes are in agreement with the theoretical values. (paper)
