By employing the invariant four-dimensional representation of the photon- electron interaction, obtained from lowest-order quantum electrodynamics, the Compton scattering kernel is easily found in any coondinate frame. This procedure provides a simple alternative to the usual Lorentz transformation of the scattering kernel (from electron rest frame to frame of interest) used in radiation-hydrodynamics computations and associated movingmedia problems in transpont theory. Furthermore, arbitrary distributions of electrons can be conveniently handled in this representation, and standard predictions for electrons initially at rest can be recovered easily.
