Il termina ses études universitaires à Princeton, où il soutint sa thèse en 1916. En 1923, Compton découvrit l'effet qui porte son nom : en bombardant des atomes de carbone avec des rayons X, il nota que le rayonnement était parfois diffusé avec une longueur d'onde accrue, l'augmentation dépendant de l'angle de diffusion. Il expliqua cet effet incompréhensible dans le cadre classique en en donnant une description en termes de particules : la collision d'un photon X sur un électron de l'atome fait perdre à ce photon une part de son énergie, ce qui correspond – par application de la formule de Planck reliant énergie et fréquence – à une augmentation de sa longueur d'onde. Les mesures précises effectuées dans les nouvelles chambres à brouillard inventées par Charles Wilson confirmèrent cette interprétatio […] … pour nos abonnés, l'article se prolonge sur 1 page…

Library Biographies Arthur Holly Compton Arthur Holly Compton Arthur Holly Compton was born on 10 September 1892 in Wooster, Ohio. After graduating from Wooster College, Compton attended Princeton University and studied the angular distribution of X-rays reflected from crystals. He received his Ph.D. in 1916. After working as a research engineer at Westinghouse Corporation for a few years, Compton won a National Research Council fellowship in 1919, and went to Cambridge, England to study the properties of scattered gamma rays. Compton served as head of the physics department at Washington University from 1920 until 1923. In 1923, Compton joined the faculty at the University of Chicago and resumed his work on X-rays, studying the changes that take place in the wavelength of X-rays when they collide with electrons in metals. This so-called "Compton Effect" provided proof that electromagnetic radiation possesses properties of both waves and particles. This work earned Compton the 1927 Nobel Prize for Physics, which he shared with C.T.R. Wilson.

Compton, Arthur Holly US physicist who in 1923 found that X-rays scattered by such light elements as carbon increased their wavelengths. He concluded from this unexpected result that the X-rays were displaying both wavelike and particlelike properties, since named the Compton effect. He shared a Nobel prize 1927 with Scottish physicist Charles Wilson. Compton was also a principal contributor to the development of the atomic bomb. The behaviour of the X-ray, previously considered only as a wave, is explained best by considering that it acts as a corpuscle or particle - as a photon (Compton's term) of electromagnetic radiation. Quantum mechanics benefited greatly from this interpretation. Further confirmation came from experiments using a cloud chamber in which collisions between X-rays and electrons were photographed and analysed. Compton was born in Wooster, Ohio, studied at Princeton, and worked 1919-20 in the UK with nuclear physicist Ernest Rutherford at Cambridge. His academic career in the USA was spent at Washington University, St Louis, 1920-23 and 1945-61, and at the University of Chicago 1923-45.
