The Doppler broadened energy of the Compton-scattered photon can be sampled by
selecting an electron shell, sampling a value of :math:`p_z` using the Compton
profile, and calculating the scattered photon energy. The methods and algorithm
used to do this are described in LA-UR-04-0487_ and LA-UR-04-0488_. The
