Ionization produced by incoherent scattering from bound electrons in helium can occur at any incident photon energy above 24.6 eV. This is allowed because the recoil of the helium ion provides the necessary motion to conserve momentum. No information exists regarding how much energy is transferred from the scattered photon to the atomic system nor how that energy is distributed. Total incoherent scattering cross sections have been calculated and tabulated for all elements by several groups. However, these scattering cross sections include both ionization (Compton scattering) and electron excitation (Raman scattering) processes. Recent calculations of Compton scattering have included the contributions of single and double ionization.
