SWhat changed
Scattered X-rays gained a quantitative quantum-mechanical explanation matching wavelength shifts.
Scientific scope
The sole-authored 1923 paper for light elements; independent related work and later photon theory excluded.
Evidence
The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. The record is Compton’s 1923 sole-authored theory paper and its experimental grounding; related independent work and later photon theory are not merged into it.
Contributors
- Arthur H. Compton · SCIENCE: Named source author of the scoped work; individual effort shares are not measured.
