The coherent scattering of 59.54 keV gamma-rays by Zr, Nb and Mo scatterers has been studied of scattering angles from 40 degrees to 135 degrees by using a Si(Li) detector. A new method was developed for the accurate measurement of cross-section. This method involves measurement of differential coherent cross-section in terms of measured by the detector at each scattering angle the K X-ray counting rates from the target of the element under study. The experimental results have been compared with the different formalisms of form factor theory. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
