ELASTIC AND COMPTON-SCATTERING OF X-RAY PHOTONS FROM PLATINUM IN THE MOMENTUM-TRANSFER REGION AL-TO-Q-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-2.0448H-ANGSTROM(-1)

Elastic and Compton scattering cross sections for platinum have been m easured at incident photon energies 23.10, 24.14, 25.20, 26.27, 32.06 and 35.86 keV. Experimental elastic scattering cross sections are comp ared with theoretical estimates based on form factor formalisms. Form factor values are deduced using the experimental elastic scattering cr oss sections. Experimental form factors are corrected by including the real and imaginary components of the dispersion corrections, in order to assess the dispersion effects and reflect the data on the current knowledge. Experimental inelastic scattering cross sections are higher than the theoretical values. To check the reliability of the non-rela tivistic incoherent scattering function further investigations are nec essary in the low energy region.
