Abstract
An approximate relativistic treatment of the differential cross section for Compton scattering from bound electron states is discussed. A simple relationship between the Compton profile and the differential cross section, valid for anisotropic momentum distributions and arbitrary scattering angles, is found. We also derive a differential-cross-section formula for Compton-scattered polarized photons.Keywords
