LONG WRITE-UP 1. Introduction The program calculates the cross-section profile d2o/d&~dk2for the Compton scattering of gamma rays by the electrons of a complete subshell of an atom. The subshell is described by the principal quantum number n and the 2 orbital momentum In quantum numberthe 1. The incoming and the scattered and k angular 2, respectively. the following relativistic system of units~ = mphotons have the energies k1m0c 2 m0c 0 = c = 1 is used. During the scattering process the momentum km0c is transferred to the atomic system, and the electron, 2 > 0 in the initial state, leaves the atom with the asymptoticscattering momentum pm having the binding energy bm0c 0c. The momentap and k are given by 2 _l]h/2, k = [k~ ÷ — 2k p = [(k1— k2 + 1—b) 1k2 cos 011/2, (1, 2) with 0 denoting the scattering angle. Using the form factor approximation and non-relativistic hydrogen-like wave functions the following expression for the cross section profile was derived in ref. [1]: 2lA~i=A~

Z and Z’ are the atomic numbers (or effective atomic numbers) for the initial-state and final-state wave function

2. Numerical methods The hypergeometric function 2F1 (a, b, C; x) in eq. (6) has to be evaluated for complex a with Re (a) being an integer, and integer values of b and c. The argument x is confined to the lower right quadrant of the complex plane with 0.1 lxi ~ 1.2. For ixi <0.9 Gauss’s hypergeometric series is used. For lxi ~a’0.9 the linear transformation (15.3.6) of ref. [2] is applied. With a=i’+l+iy,

The case Z’ = 0 is not covered by the linear transformation used here. However, very simple analytic expressions for the cross-section profile are obtained if the outgoing electron is represented by a plane wave (ref. [1]). Double-precision arithmetic is used in parts of the calculations for two reasons: (a) In eq. (10) the expression in curly brackets, which is the small difference of two large numbers, has to be evaluated with sufficient adcuracy. (b) In Univac FORTRAN the range of single-precision floating-point numbers is restricted to 1038_ 1038. Although the explicit calculation of factorials and gamma functions is avoided whenever possible, arithmetic over-

flow may occur at some places for large values of 1’. In Univac double-precision arithmetic the range of floatingpoint numbers is lO_308_10308. Some machines offer a greater numerical range than lO_38_l038 in single precision arithmetic. For this case, one might change from double-precision to single-precision arithmetic in all parts of the program except the subroutine DSUM. In calculating the cross-section profile for given values of k 1 and 0, k2 is varied from (k1 — b) down to about 0.05. The convergence of the sum over i’m eq. (3) depends strongly on k2, being slow fork2 close to the energy k2 (free) = (1— cos 0 + 1/k1)’ of a photon scattered by a free electron at rest.2 = 279.2 keV through the angle take, as this an example, of gamma the energy c 0 =We 135°.For case k the scattering 2 = 144.5 keV. Ifrays the of scattering of k1m0 these gamma rays by the 3s electrons of 2(free)m0c copper is considered, good convergence of the sum over i’ is found for energies k 2 outside the interval 110— 2 m0c 170 keV. With i’max ~ 20 good accuracy is obtained. Within the interval 140—150 keY no convergence is found while for the intervals 110—140 and 150—170 keV the convergence is rather slow. Even using i’max = 35, which is the practi~a1limit of the program, the result has to be extrapolated. Fortunately, this lack of c ‘nvergence is pronounced only in the case of the outer shells of low-Z atoms where, for k 2 in the vicinity of k2 (free), the outgoing electron is well approximated by a plane wave. For this approximation the cross section profile is given by simple analytic expressions derived in ref. [1].

3. Program structure The program consists of a main program and 15 subprograms. Of these, SIGMA performs the summations over I’, 1”, s, and m in eq. (3). ALEG supplies the A~1and CISL, together with 11 associated subprograms, calculates ‘sI - SGN is an auxiliary function.

In principle, the program offers, the possibility of using radial functions Rnl Q’) and f1~(r) different from those for a pure Coulomb field. Then, CISL with its associated subprograms has to be replaced by a subprogram performing the integration of eq. (5) explicitly. The radial functions Rni (r) and )“1’ (r) may be provided, for example, in tabular form.

Starting value in the sequence of energies of the scattered gamma ray for which the cross-section profile will be calculated (eV). Final value in the sequence. May be greater than, equal to, or less than WP1. Number of energy values in the sequence, including WP1 and WP2.

After having performed the calculation for the parameters given on Cards 2 and 3, the program expects a new set of Cards 2 and 3 unless a blank card is found. Then, a new Card 1 with subsequent sets of Cards 2 and 3 may follow or, alternatively, a second blank card terminating the run.

5. The test run The scattering of 279.2 keY gamma rays by the 3p electrons (n = 3,1 l)of copper through the angle 0 = 135° is chosen for the test run. For the bound and for the outgoing electron equal effective atomic numbers Z = Z’ = 17.75 are chosen. The empirical binding energy of a 3p electron in the copper atom is bm0c2 = 80.67 eY. Two energies of the scattered gamma rays are selected: (a) k 2 = 200 keV which corresponds to the absolute value ix I = 0.799 for the argument of the hyper2m0c geometric function. Gauss’ hypergeometric series is used. (b)k 2 = 75 keY. Now ixi = 1.196 and the hypergeometric function is evaluated using the linear transformation,2m0c eqs. (10) and (11). In the output the input parameters given on Cards 1—3 are listed first. After that the following data are printed for each value of the energy of the scattered gamma rays: (1) The asymptotic momentum p of the outgoing electron and the momentum transfer k; (2) for KTEST = 0 the final value of the sum over I’ of eq. (3), for KTEST = 1 the subtotal of that sum for each value of!’ and the final value, for KTEST = 2 in addition to the foregoing the ouput of the subroutine CISL and the subtotals of the sums over s and i” of eq. (3); (3) the energy k 2 of the scattered gamma rays and the double-differential scattering cross section in units of 2m0c cm2/(sr X m 2). 0c Acknowledgement The authors wish to thank Professor Dr. A.
