Effects of radial relaxation and intershell correlations during resonance inelastic photon scattering by an atom
- Rostov State University of Transport Communications (Russian Federation)
The absolute value and shape of the double differential cross section of the resonance inelastic scattering of a linearly polarized photon in the ionization threshold energy range of the subvalence s shell of the free neon or argon atom are calculated in the nonrelativistic approximation for one-electron wavefunctions and in the dipole approximation for the anomalously dispersive scattering probability amplitude. The effects of radial relaxation, intershell correlations, bremsstrahlung, spin-orbit splitting, and a finite decay width of s vacancies are taken into account. The effects of radial relaxation and intershell correlations substantially affect the near-threshold scattering intensity: they decrease the contribution of the leading Compton anomalously dispersive component of the total cross section calculated in the one-electron approximation by several times. The calculation results have a predictive character.
