Abstract
For x-ray scattering from amorphous media at large sin θ/λ (> 1.00 Å-1) momentum and energy is either imparted to a single electron (Compton effect) or to a single atom (Thermal Spike effect). In both cases the impulse approximation provides a convenient method for treating the scattering. Measurements of the ratio of Thermal Spike scattering to Compton scattering were made on paraffin.
