Difference between Compton scattering and Mass attenuation coefficient

Compton scattering vs. Mass attenuation coefficient

Compton scattering, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon by a charged particle, usually an electron. The mass attenuation coefficient, mass extinction coefficient, or mass narrow beam attenuation coefficient of the volume of a material characterizes how easily it can be penetrated by a beam of light, sound, particles, or other energy or matter.

Similarities between Compton scattering and Mass attenuation coefficient

Compton scattering and Mass attenuation coefficient have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Compton edge, Electromagnetic radiation, Energy, Gamma ray, Light, Pair production, Photoelectric effect, Photon, X-ray.

Compton edge

In spectrophotometry, the Compton edge is a feature of the spectrograph that results from the Compton scattering in the scintillator or detector.

Electromagnetic radiation

In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.

Photon

The photon is a type of elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force (even when static via virtual particles).
