项目摘要

0352483PrattDescription: This award supports the U.S.-India collaborative research entitled Investigations on Theoretical Aspects of Compton Scattering. Professors Richard Pratt, University of Pittsburgh and Barum Chatterjee, Bose Institute, Calcutta will investigate one of the basic processes by which photons interact with matter, inelastic photon (Compton) scattering. This has become a subject of renewed investigation since the precision of experimental measurements has reached a level at which underlying assumptions and approximations inherent in all theoretical calculations can be reexamined. This research will increase the extent of theoretical understanding of the inelastic scattering of photons, by comparing cross sections predicted from the most advanced theoretical calculations with precise experimental results and with other theoretical predictions. The US PI is the leading international expert in this field of research. The collaboration, which joins the expertise of an experimental group in India with that of a theoretical US group, will advance fundamental understanding of Compton scattering and motivate new experimental studies at the Bose Institute. It is expected to enhance research and education in the both countries and encourage the formation of new partnerships. This activity is cofunded by the Government of India's Department of Science & Technology (DST) under the NSF/DST joint program.

0352483PRATTDESCRIPTION：该奖项支持美国印度的合作研究，题为“康普顿散射的理论方面的调查”。匹兹堡大学的理查德·普拉特（Richard Pratt）教授和加尔各答Bose Institute的Barum Chatterjee教授将研究光子与物质相互作用，无弹性光子（Compton）散射的基本过程之一。由于实验测量的精确度达到了一个基本的假设和所有理论计算中固有的基本假设和近似值，因此这已成为重新研究的主题。这项研究将通过将最先进理论计算预测的横截面与精确的实验结果和其他理论预测进行比较，从而增加对光子非弹性散射的理论理解程度。美国PI是这一研究领域的领先国际专家。这项合作将印度一个实验小组的专业知识与理论上的团体的专业知识相结合，将促进对康普顿散射的基本理解，并激励Bose Institute的新实验研究。预计将增强两国的研究和教育，并鼓励建立新的伙伴关系。这项活动是由印度科学技术部（DST）根据NSF/DST联合计划进行的。
