'''Compton Scattering''' is the collision process between a gamma ray and a bound atomic electron where only part of the gamma-ray energy is transferred to the electron.
'''Compton Scattering''' is the collision process between a [[X-ray]] or a [[gamma ray]] and a bound atomic electron where only part of the energy of the electromagnetic ray is transferred to the electron.
The effect was at first observed by [[Arthur Holly Compton]] in 1923 at Washington University in St. Louis. Compton was rewarded the 1927 [[Nobel Prize]] in Physics for this discovery.
