Energy Distributions of 662 keV Multiply Compton-Scattered Photons in Copper

Article Preview

Abstract:

A scattered photons spectrum from Compton effect were observed by pulse-height distribution of a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. This also results in extraction of intensity distribution of multiply scattered events originating from interactions of 662 keV photons with both targets of copper sizes. The observed pulse-height distributions are a combination of singly and multiply scattered events in same photopeak. To evaluate the contribution of multiply scattered events, the spectrum of singly scattered events used reconstructed analytically. The results show that the lowest multiply scattered events occur at scattering angle 90 degree.
