Does Compton Effect Formula Follow Original Derivation?

[cscott]

Is the derivation of the Compton Effect formula shown on wikipedia the way Compton originally did it?

Here is Compton's Nobel Prize lecture -

http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1927/compton-lecture.pdf

He probably did the way shown on Wikipedia. I think his notes have been published, but I am not sure where.

And one can search Goolge with "Compton effect" and find similar treatments.

There's a link to his paper off of wikipedia:

Phys. Rev. 21, 483 - 502 (1923)

In Fig. (1a) he sketches out the usual simple kinematics for a "incident quantum" of light scattering off an electron.
