Experimental whole atom differential incoherent scattering cross sections were measured for Cu, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sn, Pr, Sm, Gd, Dy, Ho, Yb, Ta, W, Th and U for the 90 degrees scattering of 145.4 and 84.3 keV gamma rays. The scattering experiments were conducted in a reflection geometry set up with a graded shielding arrangement. A 133 cm3 HpGe detector was used to detect the scattered gamma rays. The cross sections were measured using Al as standard. From the measured cross sections the incoherent scattering functions were extracted. The results are compared with theory and with the experimental values reported in literature for available cases. The electron binding effects and the validity of the incoherent scattering functions at intermediate momentum transfer are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
