==Applications== === Compton scattering === Compton scattering is of prime importance to radiobiology, as it is the most probable interaction of gamma rays and high energy X-rays with atoms in living beings and is applied in radiation therapy. Since this scattering process is incoherent (there is no phase relationship between the scattered photons...

Collision process between a gamma ray and a bound atomic electron where only part of the gamma-ray energy is transferred to the electron. The probability for Compton scattering is approximately proportional to Z, and for energies greater than 500 keV approximately proportional to 1/Egamma
