Abstract

We present preliminary experimental results of inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) on molecular vibrations of liquid H2O, D2O and the equimolar H2O - D2O mixture. The data analysis indicates the presence of an anomalous shortfall of scattering intensity from the OH-stretching vibrational modes. This effect has no explanation within the frame of conventional X-ray scattering theory. The possible connection of these observations with recent results of neutron and electron Compton scattering from protons in condensed matter is mentioned, as well as their interpretation in terms of attosecond entanglement.
