Description: This project supports cooperation between Dr. Richard H. Pratt of the University of Pittsburgh and Dr. P.P. Kane of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India. The main research area will be the study of elastic scattering (Rayleigh scattering) and inelastic scattering (bound-electron Compton scattering) of hard x-rays and soft gamma rays by atoms. The focus will be on the atomic physics which appears to largely determine photon-atom scattering. The proposed studies will also provide more accurate data needed by workers in medical diagnostics, applied radiation physics and reactor safety. Objectives include the study of near-threshold effects in elastic scattering, and improved understanding of Compton scattering from tightly-bound inner-shell electrons of high-Z atoms. Scope: The work involves joint experimental and theoretical research between highly-complementary ongoing research programs in photon-atom scattering. The U.S. and Indian scientists have successfully collaborated in research in this area in the past. The research has both basic research interests as well as potential applications that are beneficial to scientists and radiation professionals in the two countries. Training of students is an integral part of the project. The project is being supported under two grants: INT 9019385 to the University of Pittsburgh; INT 9102053 to the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay

描述：该项目支持匹兹堡大学的 Richard H. Pratt 博士和 P.P. 博士之间的合作。印度孟买印度理工学院的凯恩。 主要研究领域是原子对硬X射线和软伽马射线的弹性散射（瑞利散射）和非弹性散射（束缚电子康普顿散射）的研究。 重点将放在原子物理学上，它似乎在很大程度上决定了光子原子散射。 拟议的研究还将为医疗诊断、应用辐射物理和反应堆安全领域的工作人员提供所需的更准确的数据。 目标包括研究弹性散射中的近阈值效应，并提高对高 Z 原子紧密束缚内壳电子的康普顿散射的理解。 范围：这项工作涉及正在进行的高度互补的光子原子散射研究项目之间的联合实验和理论研究。 美国和印度科学家过去在这一领域的研究上进行了成功的合作。 该研究既有基础研究兴趣，也有潜在应用，对两国科学家和辐射专业人员都有好处。 学生培训是该项目的一个组成部分。 该项目得到两项拨款的支持：匹兹堡大学的 INT 9019385； INT 9102053 至印度理工学院孟买分校
