Abstract: The total atomic Compton and coherent scattering differential cross section of Al, Sn and Ta for 59.5 keV gamma rays of Am-241 point source have been measured for scattering angles $\theta=81^{\circ}$, $85.5^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$ and $94.5^{\circ}$ by a direct method with an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer. The background correction and detection efficiency are also included the study. The experimental results are comparatively given with some available theoretical data obtained with some approximation methods.
