Anomalous Elastic Scattering of X-ray Photons by the Molybdenum Atom

摘要

The differential cross section for elastic scattering of an X-ray photon by the molybdenum atom is calculated in the region of the ionization threshold of the 1s shell. The calculation is performed in the nonrelativistic approximation taking into account the rearrangement of electron shells of the atomic core in the field of the virtual 1s vacancy and processes of one-photon virtual excitation (ionization) of the ground state. Good agreement with experimental results is obtained.
