A study on the measurement of molecular scattering differential cross sections of some potassium compounds

Abstract

In the present work, molecular scattering differential cross sections of 59.54 keV γ-rays of Am-241 have been measured for some potassium compounds (KH2PO4, KNO3, K2S2O8, KOH, K2HPO4, K2SO4, KCl, KIO3, and KI) at 3.38 Ao−1 photon-momentum transfer. The experiment has been made by using a Si(Li) detector and EDXRFS (energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence system). The experimental results have been compared with non-relativistic (NRT) and relativistic (RT) theoretical values.In the present work, molecular scattering differential cross sections of 59.54 keV γ-rays of Am-241 have been measured for some potassium compounds (KH2PO4, KNO3, K2S2O8, KOH, K2HPO4, K2SO4, KCl, KIO3, and KI) at 3.38 Ao−1 photon-momentum transfer.
