Introduction
With the confirmation of our results, we may be able to tell the rate at which a specific target will be struck. This rate is dependant only on the energy of the incident photon and the angle at which the target is placed. All other variables are fundamental physical constants. At the time of Arthur H. Compton, the idea of scattering probabilities had given the scientific world a new tool to utilize. Consider the medical field of study; radiobiology. In the case of scattering probabilities, the production and use of radiopharmaceuticals became possible. Detecting, destroying, and imaging a variety of cancers, organs, and even blood vessels became a reality. Previously unimaginable methods were put into practice in the form of a vast field of medical treatment.<a href=
Another utilization of the Compton effect in astrophysics is the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). CMB photons interact with high energy gases in galaxy clusters. These CMB photons are then scattered to higher energy levels granting scientists a variety of data in which to detect galaxy clusters themselves.<a href=
