1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
What is the cause for the bump in the lower energies of this spectrum: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gammaspektrum_Uranerz.jpg
3. The attempt at a solution
Is it just normal Compton? I'm doubting that because that is very asymmetric. I can't find anything in any textbook I own. And if it's Compton, why is it so asymmetric? Is that because there are low intensity, low energy gamma peaks?
