How the Klein-Nishina formula was derived: Based on the Sangokan Nishina Source Materials
{{output}}
In 1928, Klein and Nishina investigated Compton scattering based on the Dirac equation just proposed in the same year, and derived the Klein-Nishina formula for the scattering cross section of a photon. At that time the Dirac equation had the following unsettl... ...
