The work deals with a theoretical investigation of elastic scattering of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses (USP) on the noble gas atoms in the far ultra-violet and soft X-ray regions. The investigation is performed within the framework of a dipole approximation and the first-order quantum-mechanics perturbation theory. Major attention is given to the study of the dependence of the total probability of scattering within the pulse time on the USP duration at different carrying frequency values. It is shown that at certain values of the problem parameters this dependence is nonlinear. The calculations are performed for the corrected Gaussian pulses and wavelet pulses without the carrying frequency.
