Measurement of soil water using Compton scattering

Compton scattering method has been used as a possible tool in the study of the properties of soil for agricultural purposes. In this study, the soil water is determined by using Compton scattering method. The soil sample was collected from Erzurum and a 2 × 2 in. NaI (Tl) scintillation detector measured Compton scattered radiation from the soil sample. The radioactive source used in the experiment was a ¹³³Ba. The soil samples were irrigated by adding known quantities of water and a standard curve was constructed with the amount of water added versus Compton scattering intensity. It was observed that Compton scattering method in measurement of the soil water has advantages such as practical, inexpensive, non‐destructive and fast analysis.

Measurement of deeply virtual Compton scattering at HERA

A measurement is presented of elastic deeply virtual Compton scattering made using e ⁺ p collision data corresponding to a luminosity of 46.5 pb^-1, taken with the H1 detector at HERA. The cross section is measured as a function of the photon virtuality, Q ², the invariant mass of the p system, W, and for the first time, differentially in the squared momentum transfer at the proton vertex, t, in the kinematic range , and . QCD based calculations at next-to-leading order using generalized parton distributions can describe the data, as can colour dipole model predictions.Received: 19 May 2005, Revised: 23 June 2005, Published online: 19 August 2005     

Nuclear photoabsorption and Compton scattering at intermediate energy

Intermediate energy nuclear photoabsorption and Compton scattering within the Δ-hole approach are studied. The same Δ-nucleus dynamics used to describe a variety of pion-induced reactions are employed. A dynamical model for the photon-nucleon amplitude is constructed, including both resonant-channel and nonresonant backgrounds in addition to Δ-excitation. Medium corrections to the full amplitude are included for nuclear seattering. A doorway state expansion allows one to discuss quantitatively the role of various contributions to the Δ-hole Hamiltonian, thereby clarifying the level of sensitivity to the structure of the Δ spreading potential. The reactive content of the total cross section is diseussed. The results are compared with available photoabsorption data for ⁴He, ¹²C and ¹⁶O. We present results for the Δ contribution to the electron seattering transverse response function, for coherent π⁰ photoproduction, and for nuclear elastic Compton seattering. The photoabsorption strength is spread over a larger energy range by the Δ dynamics, in agreement with the data, but is centered at too high an energy. The helicity flip Compton cross section is especially sensitive to the Δ-nucleus interaction, such as the spin-orbit potential strength.

Searching for dark matter particles using Compton scattering

The dark matter puzzle is one of the most important fundamental physics questions in the 21st century.There is no doubt that solving the puzzle will be a new milestone for human beings in achieving a deeper understanding of nature.Herein,we propose the use of the Shanghai laser electron gamma source(SLEGS) to search for dark matter candidate particles,including dark pseudo scalar particles,dark scalar particles,and dark photons.Our simulations indicate that,with some upgrading,electron facilities such as SLEGS could be competitive platforms in the search for light dark matter particles with a mass below tens of keV.     

On the bremsstrahlung background correction to the high-energy Compton spectroscopy

methodology for bremsstrahlung (BS) background correction to extract a true Compton profile in high-energy Compton scattering experiments is presented. The BS background profiles for Hg, computed within the Born approximation, are estimated for different values of incident energy. It is seen for the first time that the BS background contribution in high-energy Compton profile experiments like those employing third generation synchrotron radiation sources comes out to be significant and non-linear. Further, it is found that the incorporation of BS correction in data reduction of such an experiment performed on Hg at 662 keV energy helps in reconciliation of theory and experiment.     

Relativistic Compton scattering from a relativistic maxwellian distribution of electrons

Using an earlier developed relativistic differential cross section formula for Compton scattering of photons from a given momentum distribution of electrons, an expression for the differential cross section is derived for the case of a relativistic Boltzmann distribution.     

Compton scattering opacity

We show first that there is an error in the literature in the evaluation of the Compton scattering opacity; second, we compare the corrected values with the published ones and, third, we show that two commonly made approximations are inaccurate in the case of electron degeneracy.     

Electron momentum density distribution in iridium by Compton scattering technique

The isotropic Compton profile of iridium, measured using 59.54 keVγ-rays, is reported in this paper. The results are compared with the theoretical Compton profiles from APW method with and without incorporating electron correlation effects. It is seen that correlation effects improve the agreement between the experiment and theory. Comparison with the renormalized-free-atom (RFA) model calculations has also been made. Behaviour ofd-band electrons in Ir and some other 5d transition metals is discussed in terms of broadening in their Compton profiles.     

An alternative gamma tracking method using the Compton scattering probability

A new gamma tracking method, called probabilistic method and based on the Compton scattering probability of photons in a highly segmented Ge spectrometer, has been evaluated with the GEANT simulation code. This method has been used to calculate the performances of a 4 array composed of planar detectors as their crystal shape allows to realize identical segments of quasi-cubic shape. The tracking algorithm selects the full-absorption events by taking into account only the centre of gravity of the segments hit and the partial energies released in each of them. The results obtained, in terms of photopeak detection efficiency and peak-to-total ratio, are comparable to the ones deduced from the usual tracking methods. The probabilistic algorithm seems also to apply efficiently for other types of detectors as simulation calculations performed on a single stack of planar detector and a single segmented CLOVER detector give nearly the same reconstruction efficiency.Received: 26 November 2002, Revised: 29 April 2003, Published online: 23 March 2004PACS: 29.30.Kv X- and -ray spectroscopyG.

Measurement of the generalized polarizabilities of the proton in virtual Compton scattering at MAMI

Virtual Compton scattering off the proton has been studied at Q ² = 0.33 (GeV/c)² at the MAMI accelerator in Mainz (Germany). The goal of the experiment is to measure the generalized polarizabilities (GPs) of the proton using the double polarized e p→e' p'γ reaction. This paper reports the measurement of the unpolarized photon electroproduction cross-section for the new data and the extraction of two linear combinations of GPs, which are essential for the analysis of the double spin asymmetry.
