Body text
Compton scattering measurement is a efficient technique to study electron momentum density distribution. Using this technique, one can measure electronic structure such as the Fermi surface geometry or the number of electrons in each orbital states. This technique is executable in various experimental conditions because of its insensibility to crystalline imperfections and its applicability to bulky samples. The figure shows the 2D electron momentum density using reconstruction method. It experimentally determined the two-dimensional electron momentum density of Sr2RuO4.
Two-dimensional momentum density of Sr2RuO4, reconstructed from five directional Compton profiles.

Technique
Compton profile; J(pz) corresponds to the energy spectrum of Compton scattered X-rays on fixed angle. It directly provides a twice integrated electron momentum density. The area under the Compton profile is equal to the number of total electrons. Compton Profile can be decomposed into a few partial profiles with the characteristic shape of a specific electronic state, the area under the partial profile gives the number of electrons associated with that state. 2D/3D electron momentum density can be obtained using the reconstruction method from several number of Compton profiles.
