Introduction Individual X-Ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. Many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the X-Ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. The goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obt...

Well-known radar scattering mechanisms are Rayleigh scattering (incoherent particle scattering), and clear-air scattering (coherent air scattering). This article discusses the importance in clouds of these two mechanisms compared to a third scattering mechanism: coherent particle scattering, which is caused by spatial variations in the liquid water content of the clouds. We will argue that for ...

Coherent states in the time-energy plane provide a natural basis to study adiabatic scattering. We relate the (diagonal) matrix elements of the scattering matrix in this basis with the frozen on-shell scattering data. We describe an exactly solvable model, and show that the error in the frozen data cannot be estimated by the Wigner time delay alone. We introduce the notion of energy shift, a co...

We study how coherent Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman scattering influence coherent population trapping. In an experiment using an atomic sodium vapor cell we observe induced transparency, induced absorption, and gain features, all of subnatural linewidth. The electromagnetically induced resonance is a peak or a dip depending on which side of the optical transition the fields are tuned to, and thu...

In neutron scattering by C2CI6 the incoherent contribution to the quasielastic linewidth gives information on the reorientational motion of the molecules by scattering on individual atoms. The coherent scattering contains in contrast also interference effects. With polarisation analysis it is possible to distinguish between coherent and spin incoherent scattering. If it is possible to modulate ...

We review coherent scattering of neutrinos on nuclei by coupling the weak currents to vector and axial-vector meson states. The couplings are obtained from known reactions, like τ–lepton and vector meson decays. We compute and present the cross sections as functions of energy and momentum transfer for various kinematic regions, including those which are relevant to oscillation experiments. The ...

Imaging of the structure of single proteins or other biomolecules with atomic resolution would be enormously beneficial to structural biology. X-ray freeelectron lasers generate highly intense and ultrashort x-ray pulses, providing a route towards imaging of single molecules with atomic resolution. The information on molecular structure is encoded in the coherent x-ray scattering signal. In con...
