The most important interaction mechanisms are the photoelectric effect, the Compton effect, and pair production.

(Compton effect) Then they continue on, minus the amount of energy expended.

This effect predominates at higher gamma energies and is known as the Compton effect.

This was called the Compton effect and for it he received a share of the 1927 Nobel Prize in physics.

The Compton effect is central to the gamma ray detection instruments aboard the observatory.

The real meaning of the Compton effect.

(Only in the case of the Compton effect, another gamma quantum of lower energy proceeds).

However, due to their higher energies, X-rays can also interact with matter by means of the Compton effect.

The initial phenomenon of the excited electron is similar to the photoelectric effect and (particularly with gamma rays) the Compton effect.

The Compton effect of 1923 provided more evidence that special relativity does apply; in this case to a particle description of photon-electron scattering.
