Title: Calculating Rayleigh scattering amplitudes from 100 eV to 10 MeV. [100 eV to 10 MeV]

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6314227· OSTI ID:6314227

An attempt is made to explain how to calculate the contribution to elastic photon-atom scattering due to Rayleigh scattering (the scattering off bound electrons) in the photon energy range 100 eV less than or equal to W less than or equal to 10 MeV. All intermediate calculations are described, including the calculation of the potential, bound state wave functions, matrix elements, and final cross sections. 12 references. (JFP)
