Figure 2
The frame of reference used for the calculations of polarization-dependent scattering. The Greek symbols π and σ refer to polarizations that are parallel or perpendicular to the scattering plane (the plane defined by the incoming and outgoing beam), respectively. The incident and outgoing angles are represented by θi and θf, respectively. The suffixes i and f refer to the incident and scattered polarization, respectively. A right-handed set with unit vectors i, j and k is also shown for guidance. |
