Compton effect with MCA

Principle: The energy of scattered γ-radiation is measured as a function of the angle of scatter. The Compton wavelength is determined from the measured values.

Tasks:
1.   Calibrate the measuring set-up with the aid of a Cs-137 calibrating source (37 kBq), an Am-241 source (370 kBq) and a Na-22 source (74 kBq).
2.   Measure the energy of the Cs-137 661.6 keV peaks scattered at different angles and calculate the Compton wavelength from the readings taken.
