Abstract

Introduction This year is the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Compton effect, marked by A. H. Compton’s 1923 Physical Review article [1]. On this occasion, we reflect on the effect’s impact on nuclear physics and celebrate the event a century ago and the eminent scientist who made the discovery. Much of the historical comments rely on the article by R. H. Stuewer [2]. A recent Physics Today article [3] presents a historical perspective of Compton’s work and provides more details. The various applications of the Compton effect and its “derivatives” (e.g., inverse Compton scattering) impact many areas of physics and chemistry. This short article is restricted to examples taken from the authors’ surroundings: the focus is on nuclear-structure experiments with γ-spectroscopic methods and nuclear cross-section measurements relevant for astrophysics.
康普顿效应100周年:它的发现及其对核物理学的影响
今年是康普顿效应发现100周年,以a.h.康普顿1923年在《物理评论》上发表的文章[1]为标志。借此机会,我们回顾这一效应对核物理学的影响,并庆祝一个世纪前的这一事件和发现这一现象的著名科学家。许多历史评论依赖于R. H. Stuewer[2]的文章。《今日物理学》最近的一篇文章[3]从历史的角度介绍了康普顿的工作,并提供了更多的细节。康普顿效应及其“衍生物”(如逆康普顿散射)的各种应用影响着物理和化学的许多领域。这篇短文仅限于作者周围的例子:重点是用γ光谱方法进行的核结构实验和与天体物理学相关的核截面测量。
