FAQ

What is the Compton Shift?
Compton Shift is the separation of the two peaks which depends on the scattering angle,θ of the outgoing beam. Compton Shift is usually measured using the Electron Compton Wavelength for Wavelength. Note that the value of Compton Shift is always negative.
Can the Compton Shift be negative?
Yes, the Compton Shift, measured in Wavelength can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Compton Shift?
Compton Shift is usually measured using the Electron Compton Wavelength[Compton Wavelength] for Wavelength. Meter[Compton Wavelength], Megameter[Compton Wavelength], Kilometer[Compton Wavelength] are the few other units in which Compton Shift can be measured.
