Hughes and Mann(1) have shown that, under certain conditions, the distribution curve of the energies of electrons scattered inelastically by an atom or molecule has the same shape as that of the X-ray Compton line. Hughes and his collaborators (1–5) have applied the method to an examination of a number of atoms and molecules in the gaseous state under which condition it can be assumed that each atom or molecule acts as an independent scattering centre. Coulson and the author (6–11) have applied quantum methods to derive a theoretical shape of the Compton line for certain of the molecules for which wave functions are available and have discussed the discrepancy between the experimental and the theoretical results(10, 11).
