Compton scattering studies of spin and charge momentum densities

The ground state electron density distribution can be determined from the Doppler broadening of Compton scattered radiation. It is shown that Compton scattering of unpolarised photons leads to a measurement of the total electron momentum density distribution whereas if circularly polarised photons a...
