Also, in your selenium crystal example, I think there would still be an
anomalous signal, because there would always be regular scattering as
well
as the anomalous effect. Isn't that true?
It is certainly not correct to state that there is no anomalous
scattering in

Aha, so I have re-invented the wheel! But I never made sense of why f' is
negative--this is beautiful! Just to make sure: you are saying that the real

no.
For example, with selenium only ~59% of the core holes decay by emitting

Following a comment by James, I clarify my previous statement about
"the limiting case when the total mass of the crystal is very large
with respect to the mass of one photon"
I meant of course the "relativistic mass" of one photon [which i

Because the fluorescence comes off in all directions, it makes a
significant contribution to the noise as one approaches the
resolution limit of the crystals, limiting the maximum resolution
attainable. So it would be a good idea to try to reduce it, e.g.
by choosing a suitable wavelength. Air

Dear Jacob,
I think it is because the fluorescence is incoherent, and hence
contributes to the background rather than to the diffraction.
Congratulations, by the way, for managing to spell "fluorescence"
correctly twice within a short space! Usually it occurs as "flourescence",
