Abstract
Because of the binding of the atomic electrons, the Compton line is asymmetric in shape and its center of gravity differs from the position to be expected for free electrons. Using a new Compton fluorescence method, this difference has been determined experimentally for a number of elements and primary wavelengths and it is compared with theoretical predictions. The agreement is satisfactory.Keywords
