particles are expressed in a transition probability through an operator which, when applied to the polarization state of the incident beam, will give that of the scattered one. Stokes parameters are used to express the states of polarization. Calculations are given of the effects of polarization in simple Compton scattering. The rule of combination of the amplitudes and the amplitudes separately is given for the single Compton effect. A method is suggested which leads to an expression for the transition probability as a sum of terms, each describing the dependence of the cross section on the state of polarization of one or more particles.
