	Arthur Holly Compton 1892-1962
		Compton was named instructor in physics at the University of Minnesota, one of a number of state-supported schools that were working hard to teach science and to introduce the spirit of pure research.
		The experiments begun here eventually led Compton to state that magnetization of a material depends not on the orbits of the electrons in it, but on the electron's own elementary characteristics; he was the first to suggest the existence of quantized electron spin.
		Compton and many others had always felt that physics was important to the future of the nation, but this was the first time American physicists had seen that their very lives and freedom might depend on the progress of their research.

	Compton Scattering (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Arthur H. Compton observed the scattering of x-rays from electrons in a carbon target and found scattered x-rays with a longer wavelength than those incident upon the target.
		Compton explained and modeled the data by assuming a particle (photon) nature for light and applying conservation of energy and conservation of momentum to the collision between the photon and the electron.
		Compton was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1927 for the "discovery of the effect named after him".

	Compton scattering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Compton scattering is of prime importance to radiobiology, as it happens to be the most probable interaction of high energy X rays with atomic nuclei in living beings and is applied in radiation therapy.
		Compton scattering has on occasion been proposed as an alternative explanation for the phenomenon of the redshift by opponents of the Big Bang theory, although this is not generally accepted because the influence of the Compton scattering would be noticeable in the spectral lines of distant objects and this is not observed.
		Compton Scatter is an important effect in Gamma spectroscopy which gives rise to the Compton edge, as it is possible for the gamma rays to scatter out of the detectors used.

	Compton Scattering
		Compton scattering occurs when a photon "hits" an electron with some of the photon energy being transferred to the charged particle.
		It is possible, however, to determine the angle of incidence the cosmic photon made with respect to this line because the Compton scattering law provides for a definite relationship between this angle and the energy of the scattered photon (measured in the second level) and the scattering electron (measured in the first level).
		Compton scatter telescopes have wide fields-of-view and can form images even though the so-called point spread function (the probability that an event came from a certain area on the sky) is a ring.
