Abstract
This year marked the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the Compton effect, the inelastic scattering of x–rays by electrons, by Arthur Holly Compton. By treating the x–rays as particles Compton was able to derive a simple expression for the wavelength change or Compton shift upon scattering.Keywords
