Compton scattering

Input(s)

$\boldsymbol{E}_{\mathbf{0}}$: Energy of the Photon Before Scattering $(\mathrm{MeV})$

$\boldsymbol{m}_{\boldsymbol{e}}$: Mass of the Electron $(\mathrm{kg})$

C: Velocity of Light Considered as 3*108 (m/s)

$\theta$: Scattering Angle (degree)

Output(s)

E: Energy of the Photon After Scattering $(\mathrm{MeV})$

Formula(s)

$$ E=\frac{E_{0}}{1+\left(\frac{E_{0}}{m_{e} * C^{2}}\right) *(1-\cos (\theta))} $$
