X-Ray Scattering by Atoms and Highly-Charged IonsHYBRID

In recent years, the GSI atomic physics division has conducted a series of experiments on x-ray scattering by heavy atoms at the PETRA III synchrotron at DESY. These experiments have explored both elastic and inelastic scattering, focusing particularly on the polarization of the incident and/or outgoing photons. To support these experimental activities, we have conducted extensive theoretical investigations into various fundamental scattering processes. For example, a fully relativistic approach was employed to describe Rayleigh, Delbrück and Compton scattering of linearly polarized x-rays by atoms and ions. In my presentation, I will provide a comprehensive review of the theoretical studies conducted. Special attention will be paid not only to the theoretical challenges of the calculations but also to the potential applications of the x-ray scattering processes. These range from determining the lifetimes of highly charged ions to probing the properties of the quantum vacuum.
