thomson_cross_section#

atompy.physics.compton_scattering.thomson_cross_section(thetas, normalize_to_max=False)[source]#

Calculate the differential thomson cross section.

Parameters:

thetasfloat or numpy.ndarray: scattering angles in deg
normalize_to_maxbool: if True, normalize output to 1

Returns:

cross_sectionfloat or numpy.ndarray: The cross section in cm² or with a maximum normalized to 1 (depending on normalize).
