Abstract
Formulas are derived for the differential effective scattering cross section for elliptically polarized radiation, the magnetic moment being initially at rest with the spin oriented. The cases of linear and circular polarization are considered in detail, as is the case of unpolarlzed radiation. The formulas give the polarization of the scattered radiation as a function of the incident polarization and of the spin orientation.
