These graphs show an offset based upon the density of the target material.

Density of target material

C=2.26 g/cm3

NH3=.86g/cm3

LH2=.07g/cm3

[math]\Longrightarrow[/math]The greater the density, the smaller the solid angle into which the Moller electron will scatter.

Density, atomic mass, and electron number effects

Temporarily changing the density of LH2 to be .86g/cm3, the density of NH3, and altering the atomic mass and electron number, we find
