Thomson scattering (R), also known as Rayleigh, coherent, or classical<br />

scattering, occurs when the x-ray photon interacts with the whole atom so<br />

that the photon is scattered with no change in internal energy to the scattering<br />

atom, nor to the x-ray photon. Thomson scattering is never more than a minor<br />

contributor to the absorption coefficient. The scattering occurs without the<br />

loss <strong>of</strong> energy. Scattering is mainly in the forward direction.<br />
