Abstract
In this work, the polarization effect on Compton scattering was studied, where the new direct analytical expressions were deduced to calculate the angular distribution and the polarization degree for Compton scattering and its ratio of intensities. The expressions are included formula for the completely polarized, unpolarized incident rays beside the partially polarized incident rays. The obtained values were in excellent agreement with the previously reported values, also the calculations were extended for many polarization degrees of incident rays with energies from 0.1MeV to 3MeV.
•Determine the polarization degree and the angular distribution mathematically.•Prove the validity of the deduced expressions with publishing results.•The results of incident rays with a partial polarization degree are included.•The deduced expressions are useful to study and analyze the successive scatterings.
