Multiple Compton Scattering of Low Energy Gamma-Radiation

Abstract

This paper contains solutions to several problems of multiple Compton scattering of low energy gamma-radiation ($E\ll \frac{1}{2}$ Mev). The results have been obtained by an approximate method proposed by Chandrasekhar. The solutions indicate an appreciable broadening of a primary monochromatic spectral distribution after it has passed through relatively small distances in the scattering medium.
