Compton Scattering#
|
Calculate the differential thomson cross section. |
|
Calculate Klein Nishina cross section |
|
Get distribution of N scattering angles following Klein Nishina cross section |
|
Calculates kinit - k2 + (k1_mag,0,0) |
|
Scatter randomly N photons with Klein Nishina cross section. |
|
Scatter photons randomly with Klein Nishina cross section. |
|
Calculate momentum transfer assuming in- and outgoing photon momenta are identical. |
The final electron momentum is not on a perfect sphere since the photon loses energy in the scattering process. |
|
|
Energy of an outgoing Compton photon |
Calculate momentum transfer with the approximation that the energy of the outgoing photon equals the energy of the incoming photon. |
