The Klein–Nishina formula describes the differential cross-section for the scattering of photons (such as X-rays or gamma rays) by free electrons. It is a crucial result in quantum electrodynamics and is derived from the principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity. The formula takes into account the relativistic effects and the quantum nature of both the photons and electrons, and it provides the probability of scattering at a given angle.
