Compton effect

one of the three kinds of interaction when ion-pair formation occurs as x-rays pass through an absorbing medium. The interacting photons pass on in a new direction (Compton scatter) having given up part of their energy in ionizing an atom in the absorbing medium (Compton absorption). Important in the upper range of x-ray energies used in veterinary radiography.
