Measurements of the photon energy (E) from a Compton scattering experiment show two peaks: one at higher energies for the source gamma rays (GR), and another at lower energies for the scattered photons (SP). Each peak is expected to obey a Gaussian distribution; e.g. for the scattered photons: SP = ASP exp(-((E-ESP)/WSP)2), where ASP is the amplitude, ESP the peak energy, and WSP the peak width; with a similar equation and set of parameters for the GR. The table (below)...
