Figure 2.1.4.1

The electric vector of a monochromatic and polarized X-ray beam is in the plane. It hits an electron, which starts to oscillate in the same direction as the electric vector of the beam. The oscillating electron acts as a source of X-rays. The scattered intensity depends on the angle φ between the oscillation direction of the electron and the scattering direction [equation (2.1.4.1)]. Reproduced with permission from Drenth (1999).
