Graph description?!? edit
The graph at the bottom of the article (Compton_Diagram.jpg) is really nice, as it's not only showing how the Compton edge is supposed to look like, but as it actually does look like. Unfortunately there's no description to it, why these effects occur. I would add it, if I'd know the reasons, but these were what I was looking for, so obviously it has to be done by someone else. --MarsmanRom, 2007.11.22, 11:20(GMT+1) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.20.43.121 (talk) 10:21, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Also edit
The article could say something about what really happens, such as multiple scattering. That is, the theoretical curve arises from the supposition that there is a single photon-electron interaction for each photon, but the photon resultin from the interaction with a lower frequency can "Compton interact" with other electrons.--201.213.220.35 (talk) 04:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
The graph should also show and mention a back-scattering peak since it is a common feature of such plots. I'm confused what the trapezoid means--the one just to the left of the photo-peak. Pulu (talk) 20:49, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
