Abstract

The photon-scattering cross sections at 115° for 12C and 208Pb have been measured using bremsstrahlung energies E of 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 MeV. Scattered photons having energies in the range 0.9E to E were accepted by the detector. The measured cross sections are much larger than the prediction of a simple model relating the scattering cross section at a large angle to the forward-scattering cross section and the form factor for elastic electron scattering. This discrepancy is discussed in terms of collective effects, inelastic scattering, or exchange-current distributions.

    Citation Excerpt :

    This experiment [64] showed that there is E2 strength located at about 17.6 MeV. A study of Compton scattering by 12C and 40Ca carried out by Wright et al. [18,19] did not lead to the identification of localized IVGQR strength. In spite of the small size of the QD contribution to the Compton differential cross sections we have to discuss this amplitude with care in order to take it into account with the highest possible precision.
